Protecting Seniors Access to Medicare Act [HB-849]
Protecting Seniors Access to Medicare Act This bill amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to terminate the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). Under PPACA, the IPAB is tasked with developing proposals to reduce the per capita rate of growth in Medicare spending.
HB-849: Protecting Seniors Access to Medicare Act
Explanation of the Bill:
This bill, also known as the 'Protecting Seniors Access to Medicare Act,' aims to get rid of a part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that establishes the Independent Payment Advisory Board. This board was set up to help control costs in Medicare, but some people believe it gives the government too much power over healthcare decisions. If this bill passes, the provisions related to this board would be removed as if they were never part of the law.
