AEI: On the Issues

Abstract

In a recent speech, AEI resident fellow Thomas P. Miller tackled the topic of what to do about Medicare. He argues that presidential candidates, policymakers, and the public do not yet want to deal with its fundamental problems. Until they do, he says, we need incremental action on many fronts to get better results for the money we will continue to spend in the traditional Medicare program.
