It additionally addresses such related issues as health care, government spending, and socialized medicine. Many Americans hold conflicting views on how to pay for health care. They fear that government involvement will either undermine the quality of care or cost taxpayers too much. However, over the past half-century, hundreds of millions of Americans have come to rely on government health insurance because they are elderly, low-income, or both. Medicare and Medicaid: A Reference Handbook provides high school and college readers with a one-stop resource on these two government insurance programs. A background and history of the topic are followed by a chapter on problems, controversies, and solutions. Perspectives and profiles speak to current program strengths, political concerns, and problems. There is a strong focus on current program challenges and opportunities. Moreover, most of the government documents referenced in a dedicated resources chapter are produced periodically, with updates accessible online, so the book should enjoy an enduring shelf-life. The volume closes with a glossary and bibliography." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Medicare. 650 0 $a Medicaid. 650 0 $a Social medicine $z United States. 650 7 $a Medicaid. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013657 650 7 $a Medicare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014815 650 7 $a Social medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122637 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Handbooks and manuals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423877 655 7 $a Handbooks and manuals. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shaw, Greg M., $t Medicare and medicaid $d Santa Barbara : ABC-CLIO, 2021. $z 9781440873355 $w (DLC) 2020024081 830 0 $a Contemporary world issues. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014912.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20220128010221.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=605597BAE9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
