| Annotation | Medicare+Choice, Medicare's managed care program, was created under the Balanced Budgets Act 1997 (BBA). This report looks at changes in benefits offered under the program during 1999-2000. Analysis is drawn from a database created by the authors using publicly available data from Medicare Compare, the Health Care Financing Administration's consumer-oriented summary of information on Medicare+Choice plans. Its findings and those in an accompanying Briefing note (same title) indicate that the generosity of benefits offered may well decline. (RH). |
