Long-Term Care: Federal, State, and Private Options for the Future (Haworth Health and Social Policy)

As we age, many of us will face the responsibility of providing long-term care either for ourselves or for other loved ones, and we can no longer take for granted that the government will pay for our health care costs if and when we cannot. Long-Term Care gives you a no-nonsense look at the precarious states of our health care and social security systems, the alarming truths behind the bipartisan bickering over health care reforms, and what our future will hold if we don’t take swift action. Most importantly, it teaches you how to prepare for the day when you can no longer care for yourselves by laying out your options and showing you why you must think in advance.Long-Term Care shows you how society might contain health care costs, offer fair and competent treatment to the poor, the middle class, and the wealthy, and prevent the collapse of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In a careful analysis of all aspects of the health care debate, this book shows you effective measures individual states are taking to balance need and cost, as well as how you can act now to help yourselves after. In an effort to cover all the bases, the authors discuss:

Parenting & Relationships

This book is intended as an introduction to the field of family law, both at the abstract level of theory and at the concrete level of doctrine. It is an introduction as much for experienced lawyers and scholars who come to this field with a thorough knowledge of other aspects of the law as for law students who have just begun preparing for their careers.

Family Law

Foundation Pr

From Genesis to genetic engineering, society’s efforts to fashion legal structures for family relationships are encyclopedic. The Fifth Edition of this casebook makes no attempt to address each and every event in that evolution; rather the book is designed to provide cases, statutes and materials that will offer teachers the opportunity to incorporate the myriad of nuances and developments into their own courses. The materials trace trends and principles which form a bedrock of family law in the states and increasingly, federal interaction. Even though each state has its own body of law, the federal judiciary and Congress increase their roles to meet the pressing needs of welfare reform and child protection, to identify only a small scope. This federal presence, together with Uniform Acts and international treaties, provide the fabric of an ever-changing family law in the United States.
