The Democrats won control of the House, largely on the back of health policy. Sometimes it doesn’t really mean Medicare. No more employer-sponsored health coverage (which currently covers most Americans under age 65), no more Medicaid. While some backers use Medicare to frame these plans (they are sometimes called Medicare Part E or Medicare-X), they really are not Medicare at all. Like today’s Medicare beneficiaries, enrollees could choose traditional Medicare, Medicare supplemental (Medigap) coverage, Part D drug coverage, or Medicare Advantage managed care.
