A Revised Macroeconomic Projection Dashboard: Can You Put the US Back on a Sustainable Budget Path?

1 month ago | aei.org | Mark J. Warshawsky |Julia Cataneo

Access the dashboard hereIn our March 2025 working paper, we (and co-authors John Mantus and Gaobo Pang) explain, justify, and show the results of our updated macroeconomic projection model of the US economy and federal budget. We argue that debt, deficits, and health care spending will grow beyond levels projected by Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and others, in turn causing welfare losses for future generations.

While the Trump Administration has its own ideas about how to boost efficiency, the keys to a more competent SSA might be right under our noses.

Two days ago, the Harris-Walz campaign released the basic outline of a proposal to expand Medicare benefits to cover home health care for 67 million elderly and disabled individuals. The announcement received widespread media coverage in largely favorable terms without much analysis, despite the campaign providing only sketchy details and no budget score.
Long-term Care Benefits in Medicare Advantage Plans: Reform Needed

Oct 2, 2024 | aei.org | Mark J. Warshawsky

Five years ago, some analysts and policymakers hoped that allowing Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to offer long-term care (LTC) benefits would be a largely federally financed option for retired and disabled people for such coverage.
