Summary
"In Who Has the Cure? a team of noted economists and policy analysts emphasizes the importance of universal health care - not just its value to individuals and families, but also to the overall economy. They examine in detail four policy alternatives for achieving universal health insurance coverage that would also improve efficiency in the health care industry." "The contributors to this volume also evaluate proposals designed to make health care more affordable and effective. Among the possible strategies studied here are an expansion of preventive care, income-related cost sharing, and reform of Medicare's prescription drug benefit."--BOOK JACKET.
