Report: Medicare Expansion Would Not Solve Problems

To illustrate what it might take to save Medicare, the commission describes how primary-care doctors, specialists and hospitals could be reorganized into "accountable care organizations" whose members would receive bonuses if the organizations met quality and cost targets.
