Policy Points Fixing the ACA requires real cost containment in addition to better subsidies. Private Medicare (Medicare Advantage) plans are uniquely empowered to control costs and deliver good care. Medicare Advantage plans should serve as the public option on the ACA Marketplace. Medicare Advantage plans can also be deployed to voluntarily raise minimum employer‐sponsored benefits and contain their costs.
