Why did President Clinton's efforts to reform the financing of
American health care fail? For years to come, politicians and
scholars of public policy will revisit the debate over Clinton's
health care plan. What did planners do right? And what did they do
wrong? How can the mistakes of that experience be avoided in the
future? What steps can now be taken to achieve some measure of
reform in smaller pieces? In The Problem That Won't Go Away,
economists, political scientists, sociologists, public opinion
experts, and government staff offer answers to these and other
crucial questions. They recount the history of the Clinton health
care plan, present several alternative strategies the
administration might have pursued, and conclude that none was
likely to achieve the administration's goals of universal coverage
and cost containment. Many support the view that the
administration, Congress, and the nation lacked the political
consensus and the information to credibly describe the effects of
any single bill to reform the U.S. health care system. In that
case, was the only option available to the administration to reach
for goals far more modest than those it sought? Health care
financing as a national political issue will not go away. Pressure
to cut public spending to balance the budget means that medicare
and medicaid will stay in the legislative spotlight; the retirement
of the baby-boom generation in the beginning of the next century
promises large increases in the cost of medicare; and a flood of
new and costly medical technologies will continue to put financial
pressure on everyone responsible for paying for health insurance.
But, as this book illustrates, the nature of the debate inthe years
after the demise of the Clinton plan will be altogether different
from that of the past several decades.
