In recent years, bitter partisan disputes have erupted over
Medicare reform. Democrats and Republicans have fiercely
contested issues such as prescription drug coverage and how
to finance Medicare to absorb the baby boomers. As Jonathan
Oberlander demonstrates in The Political Life of Medicare,
these developments herald the reopening of a historic debate
over Medicare's fundamental purpose and structure. Revealing
how Medicare politics and policies have developed since
Medicare's enactment in 1965 and what the program's future
holds, Oberlander's timely and accessible analysis will
interest anyone concerned with American politics and public
policy, health care politics, aging, and the welfare state.
