Professor Emerita Eleanor Kinney’s latest book, “The Affordable Care Act and Medicare in Comparative Context,” has been published by Cambridge University Press.

Professor Emerita Kinney is the founding director of the law school’s Hall Center for Law and Health.

“I have been studying Medicare since the 1970s when I was in law school,” Kinney said of her reasons for researching and writing the book. “It’s a tremendous government program that has help millions of people in countless ways. No longer is the medical care the responsibility of the children of the elderly. That fact has enormous implications for the education of younger generations and so forth. It’s a great program and now that I am a Medicare beneficiary, I can’t say enough good things about it.”
