The Medicare Board of Trustees has a long track record of being wrong.
In 1995, Medicare Trustees said Medicare would be broke by 2002.
In 2016, Medicare Trustees said Medicare would will be insolvent by 2028.
Earlier this year, the Medicare Board of Trustees said its projected Medicare would become insolvent in 2033.
Yes, being conservative in solvency projections is good, BUT let’s not forget that the media and the privatizers are incentivized to bang the drum of doom.
