Econ. prof. is signatory on health care reform letter to Obama

By JOY CHEN | November 18, 2009

Dartmouth economics professor Jonathan Skinner joined 22 other economists in sending a letter to President Barack Obama on Tuesday lauding several provisions included in the Senate Finance Committee's version of the health care bill that they said could "lower health care costs and help reduce deficits over the long term." Obama referenced the letter in a statement on Wednesday. The economists aimed to "encourage the Senate to keep some of the cost control of the bill in place," Harvard University School of Public Health professor Meredith Rosenthal, one of the signatories on the letter, said in an interview with The Dartmouth. In the letter, the economists recommended a tax on high-cost insurance plans and the creation of an independent Medicare commission.

House bill could help recent grads.

By Linda Chen | November 17, 2009

In the wake of the House of Representatives' narrow approval of a health care bill that Democratic leaders believe will extend coverage to 36 million previously uninsured Americans, several College and health policy experts told The Dartmouth that, although the bill would extend coverage to recently graduated students, the legislation is unlikely to have an immediate impact on health care coverage for undergraduate students at the College. The Affordable Health Care for America Act which will cost the federal government $1.1 trillion to implement is aimed to help struggling Americans obtain affordable and adequate health care benefits, The New York Times reported on Nov.

Study investigates stock market crash, retirement

By JOY CHEN | November 16, 2009

Contrary to recent reports in the media, the current recession will not significantly affect the age at which people retire, according to a study performed by a research team including two Dartmouth economists. Most families have invested a large portion of their wealth in stable assets like homes or Social Security, study author and Dartmouth economics professor Alan Gustman said . "For a lot of people, a reduction, even a nontrivial amount of reduction in stock market assets, probably wouldn't affect their decision to retire by a big margin," co-author Thomas Steinmeier, an economics professor at Texas Tech University, said in an interview with The Dartmouth.
