Interview with Joan Pryde
In addition to a few other shorter issues, Joan and Jim talk about the difficulties on the horizon for funding Medicare, including the possibilities of increasing payroll tax, increasing premiums and possibly reducing coverage. They go on to talk about the problem that Medicaid presents for state budgets, especially with regard to long term care for the elderly. Joan and Jim also talk about the growth of personal computer purchases and how that will be affected by new operating system innovations.
