Download or read book Medicare Financing and Insolvency Projections written by Shawn Palmer and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare is the nation's health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and over and certain disabled persons. Medicare consists of four distinct parts: Part A, or Hospital Insurance (HI); Part B, or Supplementary Medical Insurance; Part C, or Medicare Advantage; and Part D, the prescription drug benefit. The 2012 report of the Medicare Board of Trustees estimates that the HI trust fund will become insolvent in 2024. Although the Medicare trustees report that the financial outlook for the Medicare program appears to have improved as a result of the Affordable Care Act, they caution that the projections are more uncertain than normal, due to the potential for future expenditure reductions not to materialize. This book provides an overview of how the Medicare program is financed, including a description of the Medicare trust funds and a summary of key findings and estimates from the 2012 Report of the Medicare Board of Trustees regarding 2011 program operations and future financial soundness.

Download or read book Medicare Financing written by Patricia A. Davis and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare is the nation's health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and over and certain disabled persons. Medicare consists of four distinct parts: Part A, or Hospital Insurance (HI); Part B, or Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI); Part C, or Medicare Advantage (MA); and Part D, the prescription drug benefit. The Part A program is financed primarily through payroll taxes levied on current workers and their employers; these are credited to the HI trust fund. The Part B program is financed through a combination of monthly premiums paid by current enrollees and general revenues. Income from these sources is credited to the SMI trust fund. Beneficiaries can choose to receive all their Medicare services, except hospice, through managed care plans under the MA program; payment is made on their behalf in appropriate parts from the HI and SMI trust funds. A separate account in the SMI trust fund accounts for the Part D drug benefit; Part D is financed through general revenues, beneficiary premiums, and state contributions. The HI and SMI trust funds are overseen by a board of trustees that makes annual reports to Congress. The 2012 report of the Medicare Board of Trustees estimates that the HI trust fund will become insolvent in 2024, the same as it had predicted in the 2011 report. This recent projection still postpones depletion further in the future than the year of 2017, as projected in the 2009 report prior to the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, P.L. 111-148), as amended, but earlier than the 2029 date estimated in the 2010 report immediately after the ACA's enactment. Because of the way it is financed, the SMI fund cannot face insolvency; however, the trustees project that SMI expenditures will continue to grow rapidly, and thus place increasing demands on Medicare beneficiaries and all taxpayers. The trustees estimate that total Medicare costs will increase from 3.7% of GDP in 2011 to 6.7% in 2086. Although the Medicare trustees report that the financial outlook for the Medicare program appears to have improved as a result of ACA, they caution that the projections in the report are more uncertain than normal, due to the potential for future expenditure reductions not to materialize. In addition, the report projections assume that reductions in physician payment rates scheduled under current law will occur, although these reductions have usually been overridden by Congress. As such, as it has done each year subsequent to the enactment of ACA, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Office of the Actuary issued a supplemental analysis that provides projections based on an “illustrative alternative” to current law.~

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is in the midst of a major demographic shift. In the coming decades, people aged 65 and over will make up an increasingly large percentage of the population: The ratio of people aged 65+ to people aged 20-64 will rise by 80%. This shift is happening for two reasons: people are living longer, and many couples are choosing to have fewer children and to have those children somewhat later in life. The resulting demographic shift will present the nation with economic challenges, both to absorb the costs and to leverage the benefits of an aging population. Aging and the Macroeconomy: Long-Term Implications of an Older Population presents the fundamental factors driving the aging of the U.S. population, as well as its societal implications and likely long-term macroeconomic effects in a global context. The report finds that, while population aging does not pose an insurmountable challenge to the nation, it is imperative that sensible policies are implemented soon to allow companies and households to respond. It offers four practical approaches for preparing resources to support the future consumption of households and for adapting to the new economic landscape.

Download or read book Families Caring for an Aging America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
