HCFA GETS A NEW NAME
The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) has been renamed the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The change is not yet reflected on
the web site, which can still be accessed at http://www.hcfa.gov. A media
campaign is planned.

SEDAP (Social and Economic Dimensions of an Aging Population)  is a

of research papers are available from the site. This web site and others
