Preventable chronic diseases now affect half the U.S. adult population and account for the bulk of U.S. health care costs. Prevention strategies focused on risk factors for these diseases are critical to improving citizens’ health and reducing health care costs. To tackle this challenge, the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) convened the Prevention Task Force to develop a framework and recommendations for integrating prevention into the nation’s approach to health and health care.
Medicaid, the main health insurance program for low-income people and the single largest source of public coverage in the U.S., turns 50 this year.

The program continues to be a focus of policy debate and partisan differences.
