In Bulwarks Against Poverty in America, long-time Social Security scholar Max J. Skidmore presents seminal articles selected from the journal Poverty and Public Policy to clear away much of the confusion dominating pubic discussion relating to Social Security, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. Experts in the field have praised this important book as a weapon against "misinformation and ideological mischief." They say it is "a must-read for policymakers," and a "road map to the debates raging over the future of Social Security, Medicare, and health care reform." Skidmore's Bulwarks is a thoughtful contribution to a field heavily influenced by misrepresentation and scare propaganda.
