Health Care Struggle between Young and Old.

Callahan, Daniel

Society, v28 n6 p29-31 Sep-Oct 1991

Discusses establishing relative priorities between health care needs of the young and the old. Argues that it is fair to limit assistance to those already old when there are genuine social needs for children. The elderly should lead the way in recognizing the importance of the needs of children. (SLD)
