Hank Bersani, Jr. authored a chapter on government and government services related to health care in the book, Public Health and Disability (2009).Julie Ann Racino, Maxwell Graduate School Guest Lecturer in 1988, presented a book on Public Administration and Disability (Racino, 2014). Both parties worked at Syracuse University, School of Education, and signed agreements together on seed grant awards to governments and non-profit organizations in the US. The period was the birth of Medicaid and Medicare in the US and its use for home and community-based services ("and its variants"-e.g., supportive living, family support, personal assistance services, supported housing). In health care, visiting nurses were already in place; however, home and community services in traditional health care were considered relatively young (See, histories of welfare and social services in US). Today, Democratic 2020 US Presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders argue for Medicare for All. Julie Ann Racino, ASPA International, 2019
