Everyone agrees on the need to reform Medicare but not on how to do it. Some argue the program is too comprehensive, others that it is not comprehensive enough. Some suggest it pays too much for health care, others, too little. Meanwhile, the financial stakes continue to mount. Medicare spending exceeded $400 billion in 2007, making it more expensive than the entire health systems of most other nations, as well as the largest national public program other than Social Security and national defense. In Reforming Medicare, Henry J. Aaron and Jeanne M. Lambrew deftly guide readers through this com

Few people realize that one of the nation’s largest health programs runs through the tax system. Reformers of all stripes propose to modify current tax rules as part of larger programs to increase coverage and control costs. Is the current system working?

This work aims to examine social and domestic policy choices confronting the United States government. With governments facing large deficits and slowly growing revenues, and with public distrust in the efficiency of government at all-time highs, the authors focus on education and training, homelessness, crime, support for research and science, and investment in public works. They evaluate which current activities should be curtailed and which should be expanded, while providing estimates of the cost of doing so, and of the country’s ability to pay.

Voluntary tax compliance and the mechanisms to catch the noncompliant are under stress as tax laws have become more complicated and IRS resources have not kept pace. These events in combination have created a genuine crisis in tax administration. The papers in this volume, prepared by economists, lawyers and accountants, evaluate the capacity of authorities to enforce the tax laws in a modern, global economy and examine the implications of failing to do so.
