President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday intended to protect and improve Medicare benefits in a broad range of provisions designed mostly to increase choice and flexibility.
"Medicare for All" would take away the choices currently available within Medicare and centralize even more power in Washington, harming seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries.
The executive order seems to have been informed in large part by the strengths and successes of Medicare Advantage, the market-driven counterpart to traditional fee-for-service Medicare.
In remarks introducing the executive order, Trump spent some time discussing Medicare Advantage and its popularity.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently revised payment policies to incentivize the development and use of critical new drugs, which-when added to potential reforms from the executive order-may dramatically reduce the time and costs of bringing needed drugs to market.
As Medicare is the single largest payer for health care in the United States, the administrative requirements for Medicare already affect the medical field at large.
The effort of "Protecting and improving Medicare" offers an alternative vision to that of Medicare for All-one in which patients can choose what is best for them and where doctors are free to treat them.
