Medicare reform

Medicare reform involves updating the programs that provide health coverage for Americans aged 65 and older and some with disabilities. The goal is to ensure Medicare remains financially sustainable, improves the quality of care, and offers better coverage options. Reforms may include adjusting funding sources, changing benefits, encouraging cost-effective practices, or promoting competition among providers. These changes aim to balance the needs of future beneficiaries with responsible management of federal resources, ensuring that Medicare can continue to serve seniors effectively now and in the years ahead.
