As the country faces an unsustainable rise in entitlement costs, it is increasingly clear that reform is needed. The rise in health care costs have been especially burdensome, and many experts hope that health care reform will be a top agenda item for the new U.S. administration in 2009, no matter which candidate -- Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain -- is elected. Shultz and Shoven believe that their approach can gain support from both parties and that it is possible to both rationally contain out-of-control health care costs and keep social security solvent for future generations to share in its benefits.
