Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's healthcare platform involves modifying the Affordable Care Act, according to ModernMedicine Network.
Here are seven proposals:
1. Ms. Clinton wants to enhance enforcement of ACA recruitments. She suggests payers reveal medical services costs as well as claims payment policies.
2. Her platform involves offering a tax credit of up to $5,000 per family to compensate for out-of-pockets costs and premium costs above 5 percent of family income.
3. For emergencies, patients will not be charged out-of-network fees even if they seek care at out-of-network services.
4. Ms. Clinton would further push all states to expand Medicaid.
5. Consumers would receive a public option choice, which would improve enrollment in exchanges and offer coverage despite immigration status.
6. She wants to expand the value-based delivery system in Medicare and Medicaid.
7. Ms. Clinton plans to focus on technology and telehealth solutions to enhance care.
