by Marilyn Moon

Published 25 January 1996
The fate of the "Medicare" programme - the health care entitlement for all elderly Americans - is a dominant issue in the current political debate and relevant for every US voter. Timed to mark the 30th anniversary of "Medicare's" first beneficiary payment, this volume provides discussion and guidance to the general reader and expert alike on reform alternatives, what is likely to happen, and what would and would not greatly damage the programme.
