Big Choices: The Future of Health Insurance for Older Americans

Big Choices: The Future of Health Insurance for Older Americans

Edited by Kenneth S. Apfel and Betty Sue Flowers

One of the most significant choices now facing Americans is how to meet the challenges facing Medicare. Big Choices: The Future of Health Insurance for Older Americans examines the issue of Medicare reform. The book includes presentations, discussion, and articles by national policymakers and scholars with a variety of perspectives on health care options for the elderly. The book begins with an overview of Medicare, followed by a discussion of the key challenges facing Medicare and a summary of three major policy approaches for Medicare reform. The book also includes a section on civic dialogue and deliberation and several supplementary reference articles.

The book is based in part on a major policy symposium held in Austin, Texas, in April 2004 under the sponsorship of the LBJ School's Center for Health and Social Policy and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum.
