Medicare Funds Expected to Run Dry in 2031
A new report by the trustees of Medicare has indicated that the program’s trust fund will run out by 2031. This comes as no surprise as the program has been facing financial challenges for years.
The report shows that the trust fund for Medicare’s hospital insurance will be depleted by 2026. This is three years earlier than previously estimated. This means that unless drastic changes are made to the program, it will be unable to pay full benefits to its recipients…
