The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was signed into law last year includes provisions that will improve access to health care for everyone in the United States and extend insurance coverage to some 300 million people who currently do not have it. But insurance reforms and expansion of coverage are only part of the solution to the problems within our health care system.The way health care is paid for is another important element of reform.This article describes the steps we need to take to change the way we pay for health care and efforts that are underway both in the United States and Minnesota to test new payment models.
去年签署成为法律的联邦《患者保护与平价医疗法案》包含多项条款，这些条款将改善美国每个人获得医疗保健的机会，并将保险覆盖范围扩大到约3亿目前没有保险的人。但保险改革和扩大覆盖范围只是解决我们医疗保健系统内问题的部分方案。医疗保健的支付方式是改革的另一个重要因素。本文描述了我们需要采取的改变医疗保健支付方式的步骤，以及美国和明尼苏达州正在进行的测试新支付模式的努力。
