TL;DR: This paper estimates levels of participation in the existing programs and considers several scenarios under which participation could be increased further, including federalizing the existing Programs, raising or eliminating asset limits, and raising income ceilings.
Abstract: This paper examines ways to improve the Medicare Savings programs, i.e. the Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries Program (QMB) and the Specified Low Income Medicare Beneficiaries program (SLMB). These two programs offer fill-in benefits for Medicare to persons with low incomes. While some of the QMB program serves those with Medicaid, the real advantages are for beneficiaries who otherwise would not qualify for support. But participation has remained low in these programs likely because of lack of knowledge by beneficiaries and lack of enthusiasm by some states that administer QMB and SLMB. Among the options examined were efforts to increase participation by eliminating the asset limits and by federalizing the program. (Inquiry 1998 Fall; 35(3): 346-356).

TL;DR: A carbon tax would fall disproportionately on low-income families, while corporate tax cuts would disproportionately benefit those with high incomes as mentioned in this paper, and policymakers may want to use some revenue to offset those impacts.
Abstract: The revenues from a carbon tax could help finance lower corporate tax rates, extending business tax preferences, or other corporate tax reforms. Such a tax swap would reduce the environmental risks of carbon emissions and improve the efficiency of America’s corporate tax system. But it would also pose a significant distributional challenge. A carbon tax would fall disproportionately on low-income families, while corporate tax cuts would disproportionately benefit those with high incomes. Policymakers may want to use some revenue to offset those impacts. They may also want to use some carbon revenues for deficit reduction.
