Today, Leavitt Partners released a Medicare policy guide that provides an accessible overview of several major policy concepts that have circulated in Medicare reform conversations in recent years.

Serving as a useful primer, this guide synthesizes the leading Medicare policy options and the key decision points within those frameworks. It is designed to help lawmakers, staff, and stakeholders rapidly familiarize themselves within the landscape of reform ideas, so that they are better positioned to engage in more productive discussions about the program’s future.
