Healthcare Reform FAQ > Unified Health Care Financing > What will happen to Medicare under a unified state health care financing system?

Search the FAQ for entries containing:

Medicare recipients will continue to be covered under Medicare unless Washington seeks federal waivers to cover them under a state system. However with the establishment of a unified health care financing system, Medicare recipients would be guaranteed the same benefits as other Washington residents. This means the state system would cover benefits not presently covered under Medicare, such as prescription drugs, long term care, and comprehensive mental health care.
