Summary

Chapter 14 provides a brief overview of major health insurance provided by the government in the United States. The majority of the chapter goes through the major programmatic details of the Medicare and Medicaid Programs: who is covered, what services are covered and how generously, and how providers are paid by the programs. The discussion of Medicaid also explains the nature of the federal-state partnership and explores ways in which states have and use their freedom to expand upon the program. The remainder of the chapter briefly describes other public insurance (or insurance-related) programs: the VA and CHAMPVA, TRICARE, CHIP, COBRA, and the IHS.

We present a set of research and briefly describe the individual contributions to the Macroeconomic Dynamics special issue on inequality, public insurance, and monetary policy.
