Medicare now and in the future

by Marilyn Moon

Medicare has become a major political battleground at the federal level because of the deteriorating financial condition of the Medicare Trust Funds and the continuing growth of Medicare as a share of the federal budget. This book offers a look at the workings of this complicated program and assesses a broad range of options for change. It will contribute to the debate that is likely to be waged on this issue at least through the turn of the century.
