| Annotation | Six articles on this topic and a glossary of US health care system terms and abbreviations used. The editors' introductory article notes that taken as a whole this special issue of Ageing International examines the ongoing tensions between cost containment, quality assurance, access to care, and consumer satisfaction. Contributors discuss: the politics of health and social welfare in the US; consumer choice on prescription drugs with Medicare; financing care for Medicaid and the uninsured; community health centres as primary providers of health care; and consumer choice and employer-sponsored health insurance.
