Biography
Nancy J. Altman, a tax lawyer and a former Harvard University faculty member who has worked in the legislative and executive branches of the federal government, has a fifty-year background in the areas of Social Security, Medicare, private pensions, and related programs. She is president of Social Security Works and chair of the Strengthen Social Security coalition. Altman, the author of four previous books, has appeared on PBS NewsHour, MSNBC, and FOX News. She has published op-eds in dozens of newspapers including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
“The Road to Medicare for All combines a compelling policy analysis with a powerful political roadmap to enact Medicare for All – a destination my family has been driving toward for nearly a century. I plan to keep this invaluable book close as I work with my colleagues, constituents, and experts like Altman to finally reach that goal.”
Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI-6)
“Health care is a human right, and The Road to Medicare for All provides experts and the general public with essential historical context, clear policy analysis, and passionate, well-informed advocacy with respect to this policy and how we can move it forward. This impressive and consequential book will educate, motivate and inspire everyone to join the urgent fight for Medicare for All.”
