Abstract:
Reducing Medicare's premiums and cost-sharing obligations for low-income beneficiaries would protect an estimated 11 million people who are now at significant risk for financial losses. Though such subsidies would increase federal spending, they would help fulfill Medicare's mission of ensuring access and financial protection for older and disabled Americans.
