Medicare affects everyone. If you are a boomer, you are counting on Medicare to protect you from the cost of health care when you retire. If you have turned 65, you already depend on Medicare. If you are a Gen-X or Gen-Y, you are contributing to Medicare from your paycheck. Will Medicare continue to exist as we have known it? Will it be there when you need it? How much will it cost? As the future of Medicare is debated in Washington, Rosemary Gibson and Janardan Prasad Singh shine a light on a rarely-seen side of this storied program: the business of Medicare. Medicare is known as an entitlement for the nation’s seniors. It is also the largest entitlement-based program for any business sector in the US economy. Its beneficiaries include hospitals, doctors, drug companies, device manufacturers, Wall Street investment banks, private equity firms, hedge funds, and others that rely on the $600 billion that Medicare spends a year. The ties that bind Wall Street and Washington in the healthcare industry are strong, and they will play an outsized role in determining Medicare’s future. Gibson and Singh reveal how the industry’s interests are often at odds with those of seniors and boomers. While some politicians point to the culture of dependence of the public on Medicare, the authors suggest that policymakers turn their attention to the culture of dependence of the healthcare industry on Medicare, which is the predominant force pushing the program toward a fiscal cliff. The amount of waste in the Medicare program is equivalent to the entire economy of New Zealand. For Medicare to be sustained, this culture of dependence -- and the habits it breeds, namely waste, excessive pricing, and overuse of unnecessary services -- should be the first priority for the chopping block. By parings back the excess, the authors argue, Medicare can be sustained for future generations. This is essential reading for anyone interested in how Medicare works, how it could work better, and where it will go if reforms are not made.

The evolution of the healthcare system in the U.S. has seen numerous changes in the last 30 years where fee-for-service was the mainstay of reimbursement models and hospitals were managed by physicians and patient care was key. The early 1990’s saw the emergence of HMOs and other managed care models with physicians handing over leadership roles to corporate entities whose main concern was the bottom line and profitability while patient care and satisfaction suffered. The Healthcare Collapse: Where We’ve been and Where We Need to Go explores the low morale of physicians in this corporate healthcare culture as well as the expansion of hospitals owned by corporations. The author focuses on recovering healthcare morals and return value to the individuals who provide active care and not just business. This book also examines the possible repercussions of Medicare and Medicaid while address the question of single payer healthcare. This book looks at where healthcare has been, what has worked and what hasn’t, and recommends solutions to create a system that focuses on the patient and providing quality care in this age of reimbursement cuts, demands for better technology and providing a safer environment for both the patient and clinicians who work in hospitals. The author also advocates for a shift in management and recommends hospitals leaders engage physicians and other clinicians in process improvement and other initiatives which can result in a more efficient system – one where quality patient care dominant. The book also outlines programs which can be championed by hospitals such as patient engagement activities, community health and other outreach and education programs.

Beyond the Medical Meltdown describes the predicament we are in today in relation to health care and prescribes positive and concrete solutions to create a new effective and affordable health care system. These solutions require us to step out of the box and form new economic partnerships of practitioners and patients on local levels throughout the United States. These cooperative partnerships of mutual responsibility are a third force that will take the place of both conventional insurance companies that drain communities of resources and create adversarial relationships with families and small businesses, and large governmental programs with unsustainable bureaucracies and rigid rules. This book will engage the reader with imaginative yet practical solutions to our health care dilemmas. It calls upon us to create something new that serves everyone in the healing of illness.

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.

By its very nature, the United States Constitution is a broadly-supported, nonpartisan document. Elected officials all must swear to support it. To amend it, two-thirds of the members of both the House and the Senate must vote in favor of a proposed amendment, which must then be ratified by three-fourths of the fifty States. At the present time, the legislatures of 38 States must vote to ratify a proposed amendment, in order to add it to the U. S. Constitution. A constitutional amendment must have the broad support of the vast majority of the American people. All of these proposals were meant to favor all of us, and are proposed with the purpose of reforming, and modernizing, our wonderful, United States Constitution. LETS AMEND THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION TO ACCOMPLISH THESE TEN MAJOR OBJECTIVES: Make Social Security and Medicare Permanent! Balance the Federal Budget! Stop Deficit Spending, now! Restore Our Constitutional Rights! Modernize the Federal Court System! Abolish Sovereign Immunity! Eliminate the Obamacare Mandates! Enact Term Limits for Congress! Choose Your Own Presidential Electors! No Default On Government Bonds!
