PM Series: Question 11

[muon2]

I don't know if the wording of the question was intentional, but there is a difference between subsidizing health insurance and subsidizing health care. Medicaid/Medicare are subsidized health care where the government pays the health care providers directly. The ACA includes a provision for subsidized insurance, whereby the government helps those outside of Medicaid pay for insurance and the insurance company then pays the health care providers. They may seem like the same thing in terms of end results, but there really are quite substantial differences from the cost and benefit management side.
