Manatt Health National Advisor Dr. Troyen Brennan authored a book, “The Transformation of American Health Insurance: On the Path to Medicare for All,” in which he explores the historical evolution of public and private health insurance in the United States and the country’s trajectory toward Medicare for All.
Brennan analyzes the long-term trends of health insurance, from the first Blue Cross plans in the late 1930s to reforms under the Biden administration. He argues that Medicare for All could act as a single-payer program or become a government-regulated program of competing health plans, and the choice between these two options will depend on how private insurers adapt and behave in today's changing health policy environment.
