When Bad Policy Makes Good Politics

Running the Numbers on Health Reform

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
