"I read Christine Cassel's new book and loved it. "Medicare Matters" is now the definitive book on Medicare. It explains, critiques, praises and expounds on Medicare with breadth, clarity, insight and an occasional flash of dry humor. It will be the book to read to understand where Medicare has been and it will be a needed stimulant for heated but fully informed discussions about where Medicare should be going. This book will have a significant impact on the debate ahead."--George C. Halvorson, Chairman and Chief Executive ...

"I read Christine Cassel's new book and loved it. "Medicare Matters" is now the definitive book on Medicare.

It will be the book to read to understand where Medicare has been and it will be a needed stimulant for heated but fully informed discussions about where Medicare should be going. This book will have a significant impact on the debate ahead."--George C. Halvorson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. "One of the great leaders of our time in American medicine tackles one of the great health care issues of our generation: the design, fate, and principles of Medicare as a system. Care for our aging population, and coverage through Medicare, provides one of the key testing grounds for our nation's moral and technical capacity to extend health and relieve suffering. Dr. Cassel is unique in her ability to bridge the worlds of clinical science, health care policy, and social ethics, as she helps us think through how best to meet that test. This book is a welcome guide and a clear charter for a nation that cares - or ought to care - deeply about addressing the needs of its aging population."--Donald M. Berwick, MD, MPP, President and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
