Product Description
In When the Good Pensions Go Away, Thomas Mackell suggests remedies to the quagmire that has been created by the conflicting interests of health care and pension service providers, the aging population, and the inertia that has permeated our policymakers. Mackell includes his “Top List” of recommendations that anyone (and hope-fully everyone) can adopt to address the problem that the shift of our benefit programs—from organizations to the shoulders of the individual—has created.

From the Inside Flap
In our "globalized" economy, fringe benefits such as retirement plans, medical plans, thrift plans, retiree medical programs, and legal service plans seem as outdated as eight-track tapes and the Model T. Pensions have all but disappeared from private industry and health care costs are escalating at an alarming rate. Americans are facing a disastrous future as a nation.
In When the Good Pensions Go Away, Thomas Mackell suggests remedies to the quagmire that has been created by the conflicting interests of the health care and pension service providers, the aging population, and the inertia that has permeated our policymakers. Mackell proposes a "New Deal" for restoring fiscal sanity in Washington, reimposing budget discipline, rolling back irresponsible wartime tax cuts, and investing in America and its people.
Mackell includes his "Top List" of action statements and recommended activities that anyone (and hope-fully everyone) can adopt to address the problem of the shift of our benefit programs from organizations to the shoulders of the individual. Suggestions for initiating nationwide change include a range of possibilities, from creating a new cabinet position devoted to the social and economic implications of long-term demographics to using the power of protest to draw attention to the plight of the American worker.
Engaging and informative, When the Good Pensions Go Away shows that if we are to create a secure financial future, we must forge a twenty-first-century "New Deal" for America that involves everyone—regardless of economic status, reputation, or influence.
