Health Care Reform Insuring more people by changing the number The Million number is gone46-47 Million

Expanding Federal Programs Getting those eligible on programs they are eligible for – Expanding Medicare Eligibility –Expanding COBRA health insurance –Expanding SCHIP Program

Making Changes to Private Insurance Cannot Deny for Pre-Existing Conditions Cannot remove people who use up their coverage The Slackers mandateSlackers Subsidies to purchase insurance

Individual Mandates People will be required to have health insurance –Just as we are required to have health insurance This is the tricky parttricky part

What if I have Insurance In theory it should not change Your employer, however, can just you off

When does it start Mandates begin in 2014 Costs should be lowered over time as people have insurance

What it looks like

How can we afford this 1 Trillion over first 10 years –Tax on TansTans –Higher medicare taxes on wealthy and Medicare cuts –Taxes on High-end insurance –Fees on Health Care Industry

Population Growth and The Environment World Population is growing

Population Moves through stages

Consequences of World Population Growth Thomas Malthus Carrying Capacity and environmental damage Food Shortages Depletion of ResourcesResources Conflict

How to Control Population Zero Population Growth Family Planning Incentives

Demographics and Social Security How Population Growth and Change influences Policy

What is it? The Largest Single Federal Program A program that everyone loves A Program that tracks baby namesnames

Why do we love it? Almost everyone gets it It has very basic goals that are easy to reach The average worker gets $1,164 a month

How Do We pay for it? Payroll Taxes –I Pay 6.25% of my salary –St. Edward’s matches this Only the first $106,800 of wages are taxed There is an upper limit on taxes… for Now (the most you can pay is $6,621.60) The most you can get in benefits is $2346

SOCIAL SECURITY IS IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE- ALL BECAUSE OF DEMOGRAPHICS

America is Getting Older

There are Fewer Workers

The Baby Boomers will drain the System

Bankrupt vs. Broke Bankrupt- not being able to meet your obligations Broke- not having any money Either way, we need policy change

The Policy of inaction 1995 Prediction2005 Prediction

Forecasting in 2006

The 2010 Numbers In 2016 we will begin paying more in benefits than we collect in taxes. Without changes, by 2037 the Social Security Trust Fund will be exhausted* and there will be enough money to pay only about 76 cents for each dollar of scheduled benefits.

How to Solve the Problem There are many solutions All involve risk and create winners and losers Your primary targets are voting constituents

Other Solutions Raise the age Raise Taxes Cut Benefits Run Public Service announcementsannouncements

Radical Solutions Partial Privatization Full Privatization Amnesty for Illegal ImmigrantsAmnesty Abolish Abortion

Social Security Has it been a success, and what should we do?
