Medicare is facing a fiscal calamity: how can the growth of Medicare spending be limited while ensuring that beneficiaries continue to have access to affordable health care?

An expert panel will discuss the impact of proposals to restructure FEHBP and what they imply for both the survival of the program and the broader health system under the president’s health care reform.

Please join AEI for a series of policy discussions on the Hill to mark the week of the State of the Union address. These discussions will frame the many challenges we face at home and abroad in 2012 while also offering solutions. Food will be provided at each of the events on the Hill, so please RSVP to guarantee your meal.  

At this AEI event, Richard Foster, Medicare's chief actuary, will discuss the findings of this year's Medicare trustees report.
