October 4, 2035 - The US administration announced today that Medicare costs for this year will be 7.5% of GDP. This is the highest number ever and almost three times as much as 30 years ago. The reason for the increase is of course the aging population.

Five years ago, the youngest people born during the baby boom (a period of time with exceptional birth rates, from 1946, after the end of the Second World War, to 1965) reached age 65 and became eligible for Medicare. This year, Medicare provides coverage for 83 million people who are 65 and older or disabled.

The Medicare costs will continue to increase in the future, with another 10 million eligible by year 2055, with a total of 9.8% of GDP. Argument / Comment this news
