Americans for Generational Equity

In this speech at the Retiree Health Benefits Conf., Dr. Bowen addresses the topic of forging long-term solutions to provide quality health-care to retired people, without financially breaking the government and employers alike. Complicating the issue of increased medical expenses is the "graying of America". In order to deal with this problem he suggests implementing programs such as the "Private Health Plan Option", where Medicare pays a monthly rate to a privately sponsored health plan. Such a partnership brings together managerial expertise from the private sector and quality assurance from the government. close
