AbstractMedicare coverage falls short of its original mandate of access to modern medicine and protection against the high costs of medical care. These shortfalls destabilize both health outcomes and the economic viability of older adults and their families. Our proposed revisions would promote, rather than discourage, optimal care for beneficiaries. By replacing incentives for fragmented, episodic care with an orientation toward functional status, care management, and integration with long-term care, we can make an invaluable investment in a successfully aging society.
