Judith F. Mazo, Anna M. Rappaport and Sylvester J. Schieber, Editors
The United States health delivery and financing system is changing quickly, but few studies address the special circumstances of retirees and how health care reforms might affect them. This 1994 volume identifies and explores the challenges faced by private and public sector policy makers in providing health care insurance to retirees in the current environment and under probable national health care reform systems. Chapters include discussion of provision, funding, and evaluation of health care delivery programs to older Americans.
