Alternative Medicare financing sources
The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly. Health and Society
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
Medicare is financed principally by taxes--some of which burden the general population and others the elderly beneficiaries. Proposals to adjust these revenue sources are evaluated for equity, efficiency, stability, and administrative costs. A package is offered to redistribute the tax burden among all groups; it may also be good health policy.
