Why will Medicare costs rise over the next two decades even if cost control efforts prevent an increase in the average cost per Medicare beneficiary per year?

What will be an ideal response?


The aging baby boomer population will markedly increase the number of Medicare beneficiaries. Americans are living longer. The rate of increase of new beneficiaries is higher than the death rate, so the net number of Medicare beneficiaries will continue to rise (unless the age of eligibility is raised).
