Intensive Care: We Must Save Medicare and Medicaid Now

Medical costs are skyrocketing; millions of Americans, near or past retirement, and many others, have valid concerns that Medicare and Medicaid will be unable to service their health care needs. Millions of people of all ages are fearful that the Medicare trust fund will be spent long before they are eligible to receive benefits from it. Today, our legislators promise to balance the budget, leave Social Security unchanged, maintain or improve health care, and cut taxes. Is this realistic or even plausible? For many of us, the health care crisis seems nearly out of control with runaway costs - and terribly complicated. How can we solve these problems? In Intensive Care, Ross Perot offers a straightforward, thorough analysis of this problem and proposes workable solutions that everyone can understand.
