An indispensable guide to social security, medicare and other vital benefits, services and financial assistance for senior Americans.
Elderly Americans are now protected by three major entitlements: Social Security (cash benefits), Medicare (health benefits for all elderly), and Medicaid (additional health benefits for low-income elderly). All are threatened with cuts. Medicaid is further threatened because turning it over to the states eliminates its universal entitlement status. The range of the proposed changes is unprecedented. This book does not question the need to make cuts. The authors' point is that the whole three-part structure of entitlement should be considered together. Further, looking for cuts first is the wrong way to go. Look for needed improvements in responsiveness and efficiency first, say the authors. Then add up how much these changes would save and decide how these savings should best be used. Pursuing this strategy, the authors identity many changes that are worth serious consideration.
The only book of its kind that answers the many questions Seniors & their caregivers have about the many complex assistance programs & topics important to Seniors--from Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Hill-Burton Free Hospital Care, & Veterans' Benefits to consumer rights, employment, housing, health & medicine, insurance, home care, nursing homes, funerals...& more, including an invaluable summary of financial perks for Seniors. Dr. Daniel Thursz, President, National Council on the Aging, calls it "an indispensable aid in finding the way to needed services & assistance available to our Seniors & their caregivers." The book was selected by the Library of Congress/National Library Service to be transcribed in both braille & recorded form for distribution throughout the nation to blind & physically handicapped individuals. "If you've ever tried to get to a federal, state or county agency for help, benefits or services, you know it can sometimes be like going through a maze. Ken Skala tells you how to navigate that maze in his AMERICAN GUIDANCE FOR SENIORS. It's a truly complete compilation of information for older people & their caregivers."-- Modern Maturity, AARP.
