Question

Create a policy that stabilizes the healthcare for children who fall into the "donut hole" of families who make too much to be eligible for Medicaid and too little to afford healthcare in the marketplace."?

Answer 1

Donut hole or coverage gap is the part of part D coverage..After enter into the donut hole the prescription drug amount will increase..if you notice that you suddenly paying more for your drugs, you are in donut hole, you generally pay for drugs during the coverage gap..
Many people have gained coverage by the expansion of medicaid under the Affordable Care Act(ACA)..under ACA medicaid eligibility extended for low income families or below poverty level..The healthcare reform law of 2010 provided legislation that is helping to bring the cost down by increasing the eligibility where the coverage gap begins and decreases the cost in donut hole..when the total amount of prescription drugs cost reaches $3,700 then you may eligible for donut hole coverage gap..everyone cannot afford for donut hole on medicare part D,,for low income people full extrahelp or partial extra help can save money..
This prescription drug coverage tied to the medical reform,government, federal budget deficits, expand the traditional medicare program greater role of private health market..Improvement and modernization Act on medicare prescription drug.policy makers concluded that participation in the new program should be voluntary with medicare beneficiaries and tax payers sharing the costs..
Problem and policy options are part of legacies based on reform proposals for not only low income beneficiaries but also the episode by beneficiaries ,interest groups and government officials.The policy make new program that voluntary participation and the costs will be shared by the medicare beneficiaries and tax payers instead of entirely by the beneficiaries..policy makers make great achievement to ensure the prescription drug benefits will be under the private companies and not by the federal government..
