For fifty years, Medicare and Medicaid have stood at the center of
a contentious debate surrounding American government, citizenship,
and health care entitlement. In Medicare and Medicaid at 50,
leading scholars in politics, government, economics, health policy,
and history offer a comprehensive assessment of the evolution of
these programs and their impact on society - from their origins in
the Great Society era to the current battles over the Affordable
Care Act ("Obamacare"). These highly accessible essays examine
Medicare and Medicaid from their origins as programs for the
elderly and poor to their later role as a safety net for the middle
class. Along the way, they have served as touchstones for heated
debates about economics, social welfare, and the role of
government. Medicare and Medicaid at 50 addresses key questions for
understanding the past and future of health policy in America,
including: DT What were the origins for these initiatives, and how
were they transformed over time? DT What marks have Medicare and
Medicaid left on society? DT In what ways have these programs
produced innovation, even in eras of retrenchment? DT How did
Medicaid, once regarded as a poor person's program, expand its
benefits and coverage over the decades to become the platform for
the ACA's future expansion? The volume's contributors go on to
examine the powerful role of courts in these transformations, along
with the shifting roles of Congress, public opinion, and state
governors in the programs' ongoing evolution. From Lyndon Johnson
to Barack Obama on the left, and from Ronald Reagan to George W.
Bush on the right, American political leaders have tied their
political fortunes to the fate of America's entitlement programs;
Medicare and Medicaid at 50 helps explain why, and how those
ongoing debates are likely to shape the future of the Affordable
Care Act.
