Medicare: History of Insolvency Projections
Almost from its inception, the HI trust fund has faced a projected shortfall. The insolvency date has been postponed a number of times, primarily due to legislative changes that have had the effect of restraining growth in program spending. The 2010 Medicare trustees report projects that, under intermediate assumptions, the HI trust fund will become insolvent in 2029, 12 years later than projected in the 2009 report primarily due to provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, P.L. 111-148) that are expected to increase revenues from payroll taxes and decrease HI expenditures. This report is a supplement to CRS Report R41436, Medicare Financing, which discusses the findings from the 2010 trustees report. Both reports will be updated upon receipt of the trustees 2011 report.
