One in eight Americans today is over the age of 65, and the proportion will increase dramatically in the future. This ageing of the population has begun to drive tax and budget decisions and the federal policy agenda, as policy-makers and voters look ahead to enormous demands on the health and income security programmes. It is projected that Medicare and Social Security will constitute nearly half the federal budget in the year 2030, when one in five Americans will be over 65. In this book, Stuart H. Altman and David I. Shactman have gathered experts in public and health policy, economics, law and management to identify the salient issues and explore realistic options. From positions ranging from liberal to conservative, the contributors take a wide view of the philosophical, economic and programmatic aspects of the social protection programmes for elderly Americans. They ask broad questions and propose integrated conceptions of how society can best provide for the needs of its ageing population.
