Medicare

The Medicare program provides subsidized medical insurance for the elderly and for some disabled people. Spending for Medicare totaled about $555 billion in 2012, providing coverage for about 50 million people. CBO projects that Medicare spending will continue to rise rapidly over the next decade, as baby boomers retire and spending per beneficiary continues to rise.
