Progress on health care will take hard work and bipartisan cooperation (Alice M. Rivlin, Brookings)

The next president and Congress will face serious decisions about our nation’s healthcare, including the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the solvency of Medicare, and how to slow the rising cost of health care. Republicans and Democrats have different approaches to health care policy and the presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have radically divergent positions on specific health programs. Realistically, however, whatever the outcome of the election, major changes in health policy will require detailed bipartisan negotiations and buy-in from the public and a vast array of healthcare stakeholders. The post-election challenge for the Congress and the White House will be to break out of partisan gridlock and work together to craft compromises that enable at least incremental progress toward a better-functioning health system.

Building support for DC statehood—DC's best hope for democracy (Alice M. Rivlin,. Walter Smith, Brookings)

Voters in the District won’t just be voting for president in November: they will also be voting on their future as a state, thanks to DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, with the backing of DC Council Chair Phil Mendelson and the DC Statehood Commission, who is mounting a full court press to turn a large part of the District of Columbia into the State of New Columbia -- the 51st state in the union.

Examining the financing and delivery of long-term care in the US (Alice M. Rivlin, Brookings)

Chairman Pitts, Ranking Member Green: I am happy to be back before this Subcommittee, which is never afraid to take on complex issues of great importance to millions of Americans. I have worked on long-term services and supports (LTSS) for a long time and have recently had the privilege of co-chairing the Long-Term Care Initiative at the Bipartisan Policy Center (along with former Senators Bill Frist and Tom Daschle and former Governor and Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson). Our February 2016 report, Initial Recommendations to Improve the Financing of Long-Term Care, appended to my testimony, outlines a set of doable, practical changes in both public and private programs that could improve the availability and affordability of long-term services and supports.
