And a little more than ten years, medicare will increase in enrollment from 65 million to nearly 80 million enrollees and total Program Spending will double today, roughly. Its 1 trillion. And within ten years it will be nearly 2 trillion. At the same time, medicare is changing. Today, half of all seniors are enrolled in Medicare Advantage or a system of private coverage, which is the alternative to traditional medicare. And Medicare Advantage is a defined contribution.

That is, how do we provide high quality medical care to a huge and, rapidly growing older population
