The U.S. Treasury Department is expected to release the 2005 Social Security and Medicare Trustees Reports soon. You are invited to hear the inside scoop from one of the authors, Public Trustee Dr. Thomas R. Saving, as he addresses the most commonly asked questions about the new report. For example:

  • How have recent economic trends affected the solvency dates and financial outlook of Social Security and Medicare?
  • How has the first year under the Medicare Modernization Act changed the long-term budget projection?
  • What are the short and long-term ramifications of acting now? Doing nothing?

Speakers include:

Dr. John C. Goodman
President, NCPA

and

Dr. Thomas R. Saving
Public Trustee, Social Security and Medicare
Senior Fellow, NCPA
Private Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University
