The nation's two cornerstone programs for older Americans, Social Security and Medicare,
00:05
are both facing imminent financial shortfalls. New reports from their annual trustees,
00:10
released by the U.S. Treasury Department, reveal that both programs will run short of funds to
00:15
pay full benefits in 2033. This marks a concerning acceleration. As last year's estimate for the
00:22
Medicare Hospital Insurance Fund was three years later, in 2036. The worsening financial outlook
00:29
for Medicare is primarily attributed to higher-than-forecast near-term expenditures for
00:33
hospitalizations among Americans aged 65 and older. While Medicare had previously seen some
00:39
benefits from reduced hospital and home health costs following the pandemic, realized Medicare
00:44
expenditures for hospital and hospice care in 2024 were higher than anticipated, raising the baseline
00:50
spending going forward. After the depletion of its reserves in 2033, the Medicare Hospital Fund is
00:56
projected to be able to pay only 89% of its scheduled benefits. For Social Security, the Old Age and
01:03
Survivors Trust Fund's depletion year remains 2033, unchanged from last year's report. However, it was
01:10
advanced by three calendar quarters within that year. This shift reflects a legislative change
01:15
implemented on January 5 that increased projected benefits for some workers, further straining the
01:20
funds resources. Once its reserves are depleted, the Social Security Fund is projected to pay only 77%
01:27
of scheduled benefits. The Treasury Department, in a summary of the reports, emphasized that both programs
01:34
continue to face significant financing issues. Crucially, the department reiterated that lawmakers
01:40
possess options to reduce or eliminate these shortfalls. Stressing that taking action sooner rather than later will
01:46
allow consideration of a broader range of solutions and provide more time to phase in changes so that
01:51
the public has adequate time to prepare. The combined cost of the Social Security and Medicare programs is
01:57
projected to rise significantly, from 9.2% of GDP in 2025 to 12.1% of GDP in 2049, and further to 13.2% by
02:07
2080. The majority of this increase is attributable to Medicare, highlighting the substantial financial burden that
02:14
rising health care costs place on the system. Millions of Americans rely on these programs for their
02:20
health care and retirement income, making their financial stability a pressing national concern.
02:25
The simultaneous crisis facing both Social Security and Medicare underscores the urgent need for
02:30
comprehensive legislative solutions to secure their future for generations to come. Money Explainers
