CQ′s Desk Reference on the Economy is designed to help voters, teachers, and students gain a basic understanding of the most important policies and issues in the U.S. economy. Readers will see the light go on perhaps for the first time ever as they begin to make more and more sense of such complicated issues as:

• Medicaid spending and the impact of managed care
