    The Office of Management and Budget’s Minimalist Mid-Session Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On September 4, the Friday before Labor Day, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published its fiscal year 2027 mid-session review (MSR) pursuant to a legal requirement. As with other budget forecasts provided during this administration, the new MSR does not include much useful information about the “condition of the Treasury,” which is one of the reasons Congress requires presidents to submit this report each year. The abandonment of traditional budget process norms may serve short-term p

    Medicare’s Access Model Is a Worthy Experiment (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The authority the Affordable Care Act (ACA) conferred on the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) to run novel experiments is arguably too broad and unconstrained. With minimal guardrails, the temptation for both Democratic and Republican administrations is to use CMMI to get around legal impediments to favored policies. But there are also some tests that are worth conducting that might not surface without something like CMMI allowing them to proceed. Such is the case with the Trum

    Legal “Non-Network” Healthcare Insurance Plans Deserve a Test (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Trump administration is working to create additional space for positive disruption in healthcare, which is laudable, although it may be doing so in some cases without due regard for what is allowable under current law. For instance, in the case of introducing so-called “non-network” insurance into the Affordable Care Act (ACA) markets, the potential rewards justify a test, but it should be conducted within the boundaries of what Congress has authorized.

    The Healthcare Administrative State Rolls On (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    While significant healthcare policymaking in Congress has become sporadic and uneven, the executive branch, led by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), has filled the void by driving near constant change to key programs. It is an open question whether this executive-centric approach to healthcare policy, which emerged across multiple Democratic and Republican administrations, will deliver the desired results over the long-term. A selected inventory of CMS’s 2026 policy announcem
