Center for Health Journalism Webinar: Will the Silver Tsunami Send Medicare into the Red?

The USC Annenberg’s Center for Health Journalism presents a webinar titled:

Will the Silver Tsunami Send Medicare into the Red?

Medicare marked its 50th anniversary earlier this year, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to celebrate for the popular public program. The youngest Baby Boomers will turn 65 in 2030, the beginning of a demographic tsunami that will also see seniors living longer and with more disabilities and chronic illnesses. These forces are driving projections that Medicare will become insolvent in 2030, barring substantial reforms. The program’s fiscal difficulties also stem from the fact the program’s beneficiaries typically reap far more in benefits than they’ve paid into the system. This webinar will look at the health, demographic and financial challenges facing Medicare and provide essential context for sorting through the rhetoric as we enter a presidential election year. 

WHEN: Dec. 17, from 10 to 11 a.m. PT / 1 to 2 p.m. ET
