Medicare reform

"Medicare Reform - the first volume in a new series sponsored by the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University - tackles the current Medicare predicament head-on, delving into the fundamental issues surrounding the reorganization of the system: whether to allocate Medicare's growing financial load to current workers in the form of higher taxes, shift the onus to future generations, or shortchange both the expectations and care of present recipients by substantially cutting benefits. A group of respected analysts of health issues considers the economic forces impacting the surging health care market and examines the ultimate fairness of an intergenerational contract dictating that tomorrow's workers foot the bill for today's elderly."--BOOK JACKET. "Written for the general reader and offering innovative ideas for policy revision along with critical new data on health care economics, this comprehensive volume provides a timely and thoughtful deliberation on the precarious future of Medicare."--BOOK JACKET.
