Rationing Livers: The Persistence of Geographic Inequity in Organ Allocation
The United Network for Organ Sharing’s geographic allocation system is outdated and inequitable, particularly in light of improved ability to transport organs. Allocation should be based on common medical criteria, not accidents of geography

Effects of Race and Income on Mortality and Use of Services among Medicare Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: There are wide disparities between blacks and whites in the use of many Medicare services. We studied the effects of race and income on mortality and use of services. METHODS: We linked 1990 census data on median income according to ZIP Code with 1993 Medicare administrative data for 26.3 million beneficiaries 65 years of age or older (24.2 million whites and 2.1 million blacks). We calculated age-adjusted mortality rates and age- and…

Policy Analysis and the Aging: Recent Findings and Approaches
The Aging of the Population and Health Services
The demographic revolution—engendered in large part by modern medicine—which has led to the extraordinary and continuing increase in the number and proportion of elderly persons in the population has profound implications for health services. The elderly are disproportionately heavy utilizers of health care, primarily because of the prevalence of chronic disease. In the United States most health care for the elderly is financed through public fun…

Equity, Access, and the Costs of Health Services
Access to health care services for the poor and elderly have improved dramatically over the last 15 years, largely as a result of Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal initiatives. The poor now consume roughly the same volume of health services as the nonpoor. Yet there are still substantial access barriers for many of the chronically ill, minorities, and residents of inner cities and rural areas. Of broader concern, the improvements in access ar…

Interest-group representation and the HSAs: Health planning and political theory
Examination of the provisions of the National Health Planning and Resources Development Act, P.L. 93-641, concerning the composition of Health Systems Agencies, which are to be the primary building-blocks of local health planning, suggests that expectations of substantial change may be unrealistic. Specifically, in its provision for representation on the HSAs, Congress appears to have been accepting an implicit theory of pluralist interest-group …

Developing Public Policy Theory: Perspectives from Empirical Research
There has been considerable interest in the development of theories of public policy formation, but theoretical efforts to date have not demonstrated adequate recognition of the distinctive qualities of the dependent variable as a focus of research. Facets of public policy are far more difficult to study systematically than most other phenomena investigated empirically by political scientists. Our attempt to test hypotheses with some rigor demons…
