Congress continues to register concern about the rapid rise in
Medicare spending and the ability of existing funding mechanisms to
support the program over the long-term. A combination of factors
has contributed to the rapid increase in Medicare costs. These
include increases in overall medical costs, advances in health care
delivery and medical technology, the ageing of the population, and
longer life spans. The issues confronting the program are not new;
nor are the possible solutions likely to get any easier. For a
number of years, various options have been suggested; however,
legislative changes have focused on short-term issues. There is no
consensus on the long-term approach that should be taken. This book
provides an overview of Medicare. It begins with a brief program
history, and then outlines the key features of Parts A and B, also
known as "Original Medicare". That is followed by overviews of Part
C and Part D, a discussion of program financing, and a brief
discussion of future program directions. It will be updated to
reflect any legislative changes.
