Abstract

Medicare is projected to face shortfalls by 2024. Structural changes of the program have been discussed, but current healthcare reform proposals have not included modifications that are certain to reduce expenditures. One idea that is gaining political traction is to advance the age of beneficiaries to match that of Social Security (ie, 67). This article reviews the rationale and savings associated with this proposal.
