The Lewin Group released a report today titled “The Cost and Coverage Impacts of a Public Plan: Alternative Design Options.” This report examines potential impacts that a “public health plan” might have in competing for enrollment with the private insurance industry.  A public plan is currently being considered in a number of health reform proposals being considered by President Obama and the U.S. Congress.  This analysis enhances prior work done by The Lewin Group of the major party presidential candidate health reform proposals during the 2008 campaign, as well as more recent analyses of Congressional plans being considered.  The report estimates the impact on cost and coverage based on different levels of eligibility and reimbursement rates.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
