A Place at the Table: Women's Needs and Medicare Reform
|

In this volume, Marilyn Moon (with Pamela Herd) shows that women, whose circumstances vary as individuals, also have different retirement needs as a group than men. For instance, women are more likely to require long-term care services because they live longer than men and are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases. Moon suggests guidelines that would make Medicare reforms work for women, including ideas on how to deal with issues such as comprehensiveness, affordability, access to quality care, and the availability of information. She discusses the possible effects of reforms, such as premium support, that would increase private health plan participation in Medicare, and concludes that incremental changes to Medicare are more likely than dramatic restructuring to achieve success.
