First published in 1997, this volume approaches the controversial
issue of Medicare and its future. First passed in 1965 to aid
payments for elderly and disabled medical care, the costs had
ballooned in the 1990s, asking questions about how to improve its
efficiency. An original goal of this book was to contextualise
Medicare within the anticipated comprehensive restructuring of
American healthcare. With Medicare 10% of the federal budget at the
original time of publication, Marilyn Moon now takes another look
at Medicare and discusses how the budget could be tightened without
threatening the function of Medicare, with an emphasis on better
targeting. In particular, the novel issue of means testing is
explored. Having researched Medicare since 1981, Moon recasts her
book by discussing issues including Medicare's context, ensuring
access, containing costs, the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act,
the potential for marginal changes, reducing costs, expanding
Medicare and ultimately how Medicare should look to change.
