Medicare spending linked to longer life, better health in elderly

Medicare spending linked to longer life, better health in elderly

In 2009, Medicare spending grew about 8 percent to over $502 billion and projections indicate growth at an average rate of nearly 6 percent per year through 2019. Powerful debates are under way in Washington on how to reduce Medicare spending. However, findings of a new study suggest that cutting Medicare spending across the board could result in poorer health outcomes for the elderly.

  1. Main point is that when we spend money on the Medicare then we can see its outcomes in the elder age. So their can not be any issue related to that. And we can spend small amount of money for taking proper care of the health.
