When Bad Policy Makes Good Politics - Running the Numbers on Health Reform

Zusatztext Primarily, of course, When Bad Policy Makes Good Politics helps readers to appreciate the challenges of advancing solutions in the policy domain of long-term care, which are themselves fascinating, complex, and likely largely unknown to readers. The book also adds depth to our understanding of the ACA's passage, contributing to our knowledge of that history. Saldin's book should find broad readership among those interested in both the intricacies and intrigues of Congress, as well as health care more generally. Informationen zum Autor Robert Saldin is Associate Professor of Political Science and the Director of the Project on American Democracy and Citizenship at Montana State University. He is also the author of War, the American State, and Politics since 1898. Klappentext Good government reforms instituted in the 1970s to thwart economically unsound legislation now cause chaos in America's policymaking process by incentivizing the development of flawed, even blatantly unworkable, policies. The CLASS Act and its role in passing President Obama's landmark health reform law illustrate the pathologies of the current system.
