In late March, the trustees of Medicare and Social Security will issue their annual reports on the two programs. As in previous years, the reports will warn that both programs face long-term fiscal crises. The president is poised to overhaul Social Security. Would the current proposals ensure its solvency? Should Medicare be on the agenda as well?
The event will begin with an address by CMS Administrator Mark McClellan on the future of Medicare and prospects for reform. The chief actuaries of Medicare and Social Security will present the reports' major findings. Two panels of experts will respond to the projections and offer policy insights. Following those discussions, Mark Warshawsky of the Treasury Deparment will give an overview of the administration’s priorities for Medicare and Social Security reform.
