Introduction and summary
Over he pas ew years, he growh in healh care coss has slowed dramaically.
Bu because he reasons or his are unclear, i is likely ha addiional policies will
be needed o keep growh down. Wihou acion, healh care spending will coninue
o crowd ou oher vial spending in household and governmen budges.
Given he curren poliical gridlock, i is unlikely ha he ederal governmen will ake
he lead on reorms o conrol healh care coss sysem-wide. Saes mus hereore
play a leadership role, wih he ederal governmen empowering and incenivizinghem o ac. We propose ha he ederal governmen should implemen a model
ha gives saes he opion o become Accounable Care Saesmeaning ha
hey are accounable or healh care coss, he qualiy o care, and access o care
wih sizable financial rewards or keeping overall coss low. Tis model would conrol
coss across he sysem raher han shif coss rom public programs o he privae
secor or o consumers.
Te Accounable Care Saes model offers he poenial or subsanial savings in
healh care spending. I only abou hal o he saeshose ha expanded heir
Medicaid programs in 2014, or exampleop o become Accounable Care Saes,
he poenial savings in oal healh care spending would exceed $1.7 rillion over
he firs 10 years o implemenaion. O ha amoun, he ederal governmen would
save more han $350 billion. Te financial incenives or saes o paricipae and
succeed would also be powerul: 21 saes would earn more han $1 billion, 33 saes
would earn more han $500 million, and 44 saes would earn more han $200
million. By 2025, he average savings or an individual wih privae healh insurance
would exceed $1,000 and grow over ime.

Why do we need more health care
cost control?
Naional healh care spending per capiaafer adjusing or inflaionhas grown
less han 2 percen per year since 2007, and raes over he pas ew years are he lowes
on record.1While oal healh care spending acceleraed in lae 2013 and early 2014,
i is unclear o wha exen he acceleraion simply reflecs an increase in he number
o insured people or wheher coss per insured person are also acceleraing. Tere
remains considerable debae abou he acors ha have caused he slowdown and
wheher i will coninue.
Tere is no doub ha he Grea Recession was an imporan acor. As a resul o
job losses, enrollmen in privae healh insurance has declined by more han 9 million
people since 2007.2Saes wih budge shoralls reduced Medicaid paymens and
benefis subsanially.3Wih lower incomes, enrollees in privae insurance had less
money o spend on healh care.4
Several sudies use hisorical daa o deermine he relaionship beween economic
growh and healh care spending growh. Tese sudies esimae ha he economic
downurn explains anywhere rom 37 percen o more han wo-hirds o he slow-
down in healh care spending.5However, his mehodology has serious limiaions:
I is highly sensiive o assumpions abou he iming o he effec o economic
growh on healh care spending growh. Anoher recen sudy compares privae
healh care spending in geographic areas where he severiy o he recen economic
downurn varied, esimaing ha he downurn explains abou 70 percen o he
slowdown in privae healh care spending.6
Sill, mos expers believe ha he economy is no he only acor a work or wo
reasons. Firs, he slowdown began beore he Grea Recession. Second, he
economic downurn canno explain he slowdown in Medicare spending. Becausehe vas majoriy o Medicare beneficiaries have supplemenal coverage or cos-
sharing, financial losses did no reduce heir use o healh care.7

In addiion o he economy, anoher imporan acor is he long-erm rend o
rising cos-sharingor ou-o-pocke coss paid by consumers such as deducibles,
copaymens, and coinsuranceha discourage he use o healh care. Since 2006,
he number o workers who have a deducible has risen sharply, he average
deducible amoun has nearly doubled, and 20 percen o covered workers are now
enrolled in high-deducible plans.8
Coinsurance or hospial admissions andcopaymens or physician visis have also risen sharply.9According o one analysis,
rising cos-sharing explains 20 percen o he slowdown in healh care spending,
alhough oher expers have concluded ha his acor is even more imporan.10
Te use o new echnologieswhich hisorically drove cos growhhas also
moderaed. For many surgical procedures involving medical devices, as well as
imaging wih MRIs and C scans, raes o use declined during he lae 2000s.11
Addiionally, because a large number o high-volume, high-cos drugs los paen
proecion, cheaper generic drugs accoun or an increasing share o prescripions. 12
However, some expers who are surveying he echnology pipeline predic ha a surgein new surgical procedures, medical devices, and specialy drugs is on he horizon.13
Te Affordable Care Ac, or ACA, also conribued o he slowdown. Te law
reduced Medicare paymens o medical providers and Medicare Advanage plans.
Moreover, here is evidence ha reducions in Medicare paymens had a spillover
effec on privae insurance.14Because he law reduced Medicare paymens o
hospials wih high readmissions, he readmission rae has dropped rom 19 percen
o abou 17.5 percen, avoiding 130,000 readmissions.15Reducing hese prevenable
readmissions, as well as hospial-acquired condiions, lowers coss while improving
he qualiy o care.
Perhaps mos imporanly, i is possible ha he Affordable Care Ac creaed an
expecaion o cos-conrol reorms ha changed medical providers behavior. In
oher words, providers may have become more cos-efficien in anicipaion o
reorms o he paymen and delivery sysem. As evidence o his effec, providers
have sharply curailed heir invesmen in echnologies and aciliies ha could drive
up coss.16o he exen ha his effec is real, providers may rever o business as
usual unless anicipaed reorms soon become realiy.
Several o hese acors had a one-ime effec on he level o healh care spending
and canno be expeced o coninue o moderae he growh o spending over he
long erm. For example, cos-sharing in privae insurance canno increase indefiniely,
and he rae o generic subsiuion or brand-name drugs canno go much higher.
Moreover, some acors ha have slowed cos growhsuch as rising cos-sharing
may have he undesirable side effec o reducing access o necessary care.

Analyss generally projec ha cos growh will increase over he nex ew decades
bu a a slower rae han beore he slowdown. Growh in healh care spending per
capia is sill projeced o exceed growh in he economy by 1.15 percenage poins
o 1.6 percenage poins.17Even i he Grea Recession and is afermah explain
less han hal o he slowdown, once he economy improvesand he effec o
rising cos-sharing maxes oucos growh can be expeced o rise appreciably.
Even a a slower rae o cos growh, he projeced rend is unsusainable or wo
reasons. Firs, cos growh ha exceeds wage growh will dampen real income,
as i has in he pas.18Second, cos growh ha exceeds economic growh will
evenually require much higher axes or deep reducions in oher governmen
spending, crowding ou vial invesmens in educaion and inrasrucure. Under
he Congressional Budge Offices long-erm projecions, he ollowing will occur
by 2035, even i coss per capia grow no aser han he economy:19
Medicare spending as a share o he economy will increase 30 percen.
oal ederal healh care spending as a share o he economy will increase
37 percen.
Because our aging populaion accouns or 39 percen o projeced growh in ederal
healh care spending, coss per beneficiary would need o grow more slowly han
he economy o sabilize his spending as a share o he economy.20
Imporanly, growh rends and causes vary by payer. While growh in privae
spending is srongly associaed wih economic growh, increased Medicare
spending is no.21For privae spending, he slowdown was driven by he Grea
Recession and rising cos-sharingone-ime or undesirable effecs ha did no
benefi consumers. Policymakers mus hereore address his componen o
naional healh care spending.
For Medicare spending, he slowdown had more promising effecs bu remains
unexplained. o he exen ha medical providers changed heir behavior in
anicipaion o reorms o he paymen and delivery sysem, policymakers mus
coninue o send srong signals o providers ha hese reorms will ake roo.While paymen and delivery sysem reorm in Medicare and Medicaid would
have a spillover effec on privae insurance,22policymakers mus ocus on ways
o ampliy his effec. Reorms ha ocus on one payer alone will no send srong
and consisen signals o providers.

State innovation models
Because healh care issues have become so polarized, i is unlikely ha he ederal
governmen will lead reorms o conrol sysem-wide coss. Many Republicans
propose reorms ha aim o reduce coss by reducing he amoun o insurance
coverage. A he same ime, many Democras do no recognize he need or greaer
cos conrol beyond he Affordable Care Acs reorms.
Saes, however, are well-suied o play a leadership role on cos conrol or wo
reasons. Firs, hey have a wide variey o ools and policy levers a heir disposalo conrol coss and improve he qualiy o care. (see Sae cos-conrol ools ex
box) Second, because healh care delivery varies locally, saes can ailor models o
heir unique needs.
State health care programs and regulations can affect health care
spending by influencing the supply of services, the demand for services,the behavior of medical providers and consumers, the bargaining power
of purchasers, or the degree of market competition. Here are some of
the areas in which states can control health care costs:
Medicaid and Childrens Health Insurance programs
State employee plans
State-run health insurance exchanges
Premium rate review
Provider network adequacy regulations
Provider regulations
Regulation of the supply of medical facilities
Scope of practice laws
Physician licensing
Medical malpractice laws
Price and quality transparency initiatives
Administrative requirements
Contractual rules between health plans and medical provider
State antitrust laws
Public health programs
State cost-control tools

Several saes are already aking he lead in adoping innovaive reorms, as he
ollowing case sudies illusrae.
Arkansas
Under he Arkansas Healh Care Paymen Improvemen Iniiaive, muliple payers
provide he same paymen incenives based on an episode o care, or a bundle o
services, raher han reaing each service separaely.23Te variey o payers ha are
paricipaing include Medicaid, privae insurers, and some sel-insured employers,
such as Wal-Mar. Currenly, here are 12 episodes o care in he program, including
upper respiraory inecion, oal hip and knee replacemen, congesive hear ailure,
and atenion defici hyperaciviy disorder, or ADHD. Te goal is o implemen
episodes or up o 40 percen o spending over he nex ew years.24
Medical providers are sill paid a ee or each service. Payers designae a PrincipalAccounable Provider, or PAP, ha is he main decision maker or mos care and can
coordinae oher providers during an episode. Payers rack qualiy and coss across
all episodes during a ime period. I he PAP keeps he average cos below a arge
and mees qualiy sandards, hen i can keep a share o he savings. Bu i he average
cos exceeds he arge, hen he PAP mus pay back a share o he excess coss.
Arkansas is also implemening paien-cenered, primary care medical homes or
public and privae payers. Medical homes receive exra monhly paymens o
coordinae care or paiens. I a medical home keeps coss below is own hisorical
rend and below a argeand mees qualiy sandardshen i can keep a share o
he savings. Te majoriy o Arkansans will have access o a medical home by 2016.25
Based on curren projecions, Arkansas will save abou $560 million or Medicaid,
$310 million or Medicare, and $365 million or privae insurers over hree years.26
Maryland
Te Ceners or Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, approved Marylands reormo is all-payer sysem or hospials in January. Under his sysem, an independen
agency ses paymen raes or boh public and privae payers.27Te recen reorm
limis he growh in oal hospial spending per capia o he long-erm rend in sae
economic growh per capia.

o mee his goal, hospials will ace financial consequences i hey provide an
excessive volume o services. Maryland has also se aggressive arges or improve-
mens in hospial readmissions, qualiy measures, and hospial-acquired condiions.
Hospials will be a risk o losing increasing amouns o revenue i hey do no
make progress oward hese arges.
In uure years, Maryland inends o propose an approach o limi he growh in
oal healh care spending per capia.28
Massachusetts
Massachusets enaced legislaion o conrol healh care coss in 2012.29Te reorm
se a global arge ha limis he growh in oal healh care spending o growh in
he sae economy and is adjused o remove flucuaions due o business cycles.
A new commission enorces his arge: Medical providers wih excessive cos growhmus file and implemen a perormance improvemen plan and could be fined up
o $500,000 or ailure o comply.
Te sae Medicaid program, he sae employee healh insurance program, and oher
sae-unded programs mus ransiion o new paymen models. Te sae Medicaid
program mus use new paymen models, such as paymens or a bundle o services,
or a leas 80 percen o beneficiaries by July 2015.30In he privae insurance marke,
insurers mus offer iered nework plans ha reduce cos-sharing or enrollees who
choose high-value medical providers.
Medical providers mus repor regularly on financial perormance, marke share,
cos rends, and qualiy measures. Te new commission will conduc a Cos and
Marke Impac Review o changes in he healh care indusry, such as consolidaions
or mergers, ha could increase coss or reduce qualiy or access. Te commission
can reer hese changes o he atorney general or urher invesigaion.
Massachusets is also a naional model o healh care price ransparency.31Is reorm
requires insurers o provide consumers wih binding esimaes o heir ou-o-pocke
coss or specific procedures. In addiion, medical providers mus disclose priceinormaion o paiens and a public websie will provide daa on he relaive coss
o differen providers.

Oregon
Oregon has commited o reduce he growh in Medicaid spending per capia by
2 percenage poins relaive o he naional growh rae by he end o 2014, while

Under he reorm, he sae Medicaid program makes fixed paymens o Coordinaed

In he uure, Oregon has commited o expanding he CCO model o Medicare,
sae employee healh plans, and healh insurance exchange plans.34
Medicares State Innovation Models Initiative
Te Affordable Care Ac creaed he Cener or Medicare & Medicaid Innovaion,
or CMMI, o es and expand paymen reorms.35One o CMMIs iniiaives is he
Sae Innovaion Models, or SIM, Iniiaive, which provides grans o saes or
paymen reorms ha are adoped by muliple payers.36Currenly, six saes are
esing reorms, including Arkansas and Oregon. Te larges gran is $45 million
over hree and a hal years or abou $13 million per year. 37In May, CMMI announced
a second round o grans, which could range rom $20 million o $100 million over
our years or $5 million o $20 million per year.38
Te SIM Iniiaive is promising, bu aces our limiaions. Firs, he financial rewards
or saes are no srong enough. Wih litle ederal money a sake, saes do no

The Accountable Care States model
Te ederal governmen should empower and incenivize saes o ake he lead in
implemening innovaive cos-conrol models. Te ederal governmen should
allow saes o become Accounable Care Saes ha are accounable or he
growh in healh care coss, as well as he qualiy o care. Under his model,
Accounable Care Saes would share ederal savings, preven cos-shifing o
consumers, implemen paymen reorms, ease adminisraive burdens, and rack
daa on coss and qualiy o care.
Share federal savings
Accounable Care Saes would agree o limi he growh in oal healh care
spending per capiaincluding spending by boh public and privae payerso a
arge linked o he saes economic growh per capia. o remove flucuaions in
economic growh due o business cycles, he arge would be linked o economic
growh over he long erm or wha growh would be assuming ull employmen,
known as poenial economic growh. I saes successully mee his cos arge,
hen hey would receive a share o he ederal governmens savings on paymens
hrough Medicare, Medicaid, Affordable Care Ac subsidies, and oher ederal
healh care programs.
o be eligible or hese shared savings, Accounable Care Saes mus also mee
arges or he qualiy o care and access o care. In addiion, saes mus have a
balanced, broad-based approach, reducing he growh rae or public spending and
privae spending by a leas 1 percenage poin each. Raher han solely ocusing
on public programsor shifing subsanial coss rom public programs o privae
insurancesaes should adop reorms ha reduce coss across he sysem.
Accounable Care Saes would have o mee one o wo cos arges. I saes limi
healh care spending o economic growh plus 0.5 percenage poins, hen hey
would be eligible o keep 25 percen o he ederal savings. I saes limi healh care

spending even urher o he rae o economic growh, hen hey would be eligible
o keep 50 percen o he ederal savings. In addiion, i saes agree in advance o
reurn any o heir excess ederal spending o he ederal governmen, hen heir
share o any ederal savings would increase by 25 percenage poins. For his purpose,
excess ederal spending would be he amoun ha exceeds economic growh plus
1 percenage poin. By acceping greaer accounabiliy or excess cos growh,saes would have he poenial o earn greaer rewards.
Accounable Care Saes would have wo opions or receiving heir share o he
ederal savings. Tey could receive he savings in he year afer he savings accrue,
or hey could receive he savings projeced over hree years upron. Bu under he
later opion, saes would have o pay back his ronloaded savings i hey do no
mee heir arges.
Te ederal governmen would measure he ederal savings each year by comparing a
saes acual growh rae in ederal spending per enrollee o one o hese baselines:
Te saes growh rae in ederal spending per enrollee over he pas five years,
adjused o remove flucuaions due o business cycles
A blend o he saes growh rae and he naional growh rae
Saes wih growh raes ha are already below he naional growh rae would
benefi rom he blended baseline.
Te ederal savings would be adjused o exclude savings ha resul rom medical
providers paricipaion in Medicare demonsraions or rom Medicare incenive
paymens. Growh raes would also be adjused o accoun or spending growh due
o acors unrelaed o cos-conrol reorms, such as he expansion o coverage under
he Affordable Care Ac, including a Medicaid expansion; demographic changes;
naural disasers; or regional disease oubreaks. Te Governmen Accounabiliy
Office, or GAO, would ceriy measuremens o savings and adjusmens.
Prevent cost-shifting to consumers
As a general rule, Accounable Care Saes would no be able o credi any savings
oward heir arges ha resul rom policies ha simply shif coss o consumers.
Te Affordable Care Ac esablished essenial healh benefis, minimum coverage

ou-o-pocke coss.40In addiion, saes would be limied in heir abiliy o mee
heir arges by shifing spending rom payers o consumers because oal healh
care spending would include ou-o-pocke spending by consumers.
However, Accounable Care Saes would be able o coun savings rom iered or
limied provider neworks. While plans wih limied neworks exclude high-cosmedical providers, plans wih iered neworks reduce cos-sharing or enrollees who
choose high-value providers. o ensure ha consumers reain meaningul access
o providers, saes would no be credied wih such savings unless he neworks
mee minimum sandards or adequae healh care access. Saes would also be
able o coun savings rom increasing cos-sharing or low-value servicessuch as
emergency deparmen visis or non-emergencies and brand-name drugs when
generic drugs are availableconsisen wih consumer proecions under Medicaid.
Implement payment reform across payers
o be eligible or shared savings, Accounable Care Saes mus ransiion o new
paymen models ha are coordinaed across public and privae payers. As an
alernaive o paying a ee or each servicewhich encourages medical providers
o increase he number o serviceshese new paymen models pay a fixed amoun
or care coordinaion hrough primary care medical homes; or a bundle o services,
known as bundled paymens; or o an Accounable Care Organizaion or all o
he care a paien needs.
Accounable Care Saes would need o phase in new paymen models so ha an
increasing percenage o paymens by all payers are made using hese new models:
Year 2: 20 percen
Year 3: 30 percen
Year 4: 40 percen
Year 5: 50 percen
As he single larges payer, he paricipaion o Medicare is key o healh sysem
ransormaion. For medical providers o change how hey operae, a large porion
o heir revenue mus be affeced. Alignmen across payers can also help counerac
he marke power o providers.

Accounable Care Saes would be encouraged o propose models ha include
Medicare, much like how saes ake he lead on demonsraion programs o inegrae

he ollowing sae paymen models:
Models ha CMS has approved or he saes Medicaid program, o he degreeeasible. In Arkansas, or insance, Medicare would be required o use he same
bundles as he sae Medicaid program.
Models ha have been esed and proven o reduce coss and improve he
qualiy o care, as judged by he CMS Office o he Acuary. For insance, saes
could implemen he Acue Care Episode programs bundled paymens or
cardiac and orhopedic procedures across payers.
Models ha CMMI is currenly esing or some providers, unless resuls show
ha he models reduce he qualiy o care.
Models ha implemen some orm o all-payer rae seting, under which
paymen raes o providers would be he same or more similar or all payers, ha
does no increase Medicare spending when combined wih oher reorms.
Ease administrative costs and burdens
Saes ofen lack adminisraive capaciy o design and implemen major reorms.
o deray adminisraive and implemenaion coss, Accounable Care Saes would
receive eiher an enhanced Federal Maching Assisance Percenage under Medicaid
or unding rom CMMI.
Te ederal governmen would sandardize and sreamline a process or saes ha
are ineresed in becoming Accounable Care Saes. CMS would creae a new
Office o Accounable Care Saes o review and approve a single applicaion or
waivers o Medicaid, paymen and delivery sysem reorms o Medicare, and
changes o sae-run healh insurance exchanges. Tis office would be similar in
uncion o he Medicare-Medicaid Coordinaion Office creaed under heAffordable Care Ac o coordinae Medicare and Medicaid demonsraions and
simpliy processes.42In addiion, CMS would publish Accounable Care Sae
emplaes wih sandard condiions such as hose discussed above o remove any
guesswork or inconsisencies rom he process.

Consumers would also reap savings rom lower premiums and ou-o-pocke coss.
By 2025, he average savings or an individual wih privae healh insurance would
exceed $1,000 and grow over ime.
To estimate the impact of the Accountable Care States model, we assumed that the
model would not be fully implemented in half of the states until 2018. We also assumed
that participating states would choose to maximize their shared savings with a cost
target equal to the growth in gross domestic product, or GDP.
To construct a baseline of federal health care spending, we used CBO projections of
Medicare spending, Medicaid spending, and Affordable Care Act subsidies through
2024, extending the trends through 2027.43To estimate the national savings in federal
health care spending, we used CBO estimates of the amount by which the growth ratefor each program exceeds GDP growth, known as excess cost growth.44
Because CBO does not project private health care spending, we used private spending
data from the National Health Expenditure Accounts, or NHEA, maintained by the
Office of the Actuary at CMS, isolating data on premiums and out-of-pocket costs.45
National savings in private health care spending is the difference between the NHEA
projection and what private spending would be if it grew at the rate of the Accountable
Care States cost target instead. This savings estimate, divided by the NHEA projection
of the number of enrollees in private health insurance,46is the average savings for an
individual with private insurance.
To derive the savings for each state, we allocated national savings to states based on
each states portion of national health care spending, as measured by the NHEA.47To
apportion Medicaid savings between the federal government and a state, we applied
the Affordable Care Acts enhanced matching rate to Medicaid spending resulting from
the ACA and the states regular Federal Matching Assistance Percentage, or FMAP, to
the rest of Medicaid spending.48

26/26
The Center for American Progress is a nonpartisan research and educational institute
dedicated to promoting a strong, just, and free America that ensures opportunity
for all. We believe that Americans are bound together by a common commitment to
these values and we aspire to ensure that our national policies reflect these values.
We work to find progressive and pragmatic solutions to significant domestic and
international problems and develop policy proposals that foster a government that
is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
