As the Baby Boomer generation continues to retire, is the increase
in government spending on Medicare raising health care premiums
for everyone else?
Baby Boomers and Healthcare

2. Describe the Scenario
What question do you want to answer and why is it important?
US healthcare is world-class, but expensive for what it is. With an increased
aging population, the balance between elderly consuming care and working-
age taxpayers funding it is worsening. Medicare functions as a redistributor
between the two. So, the trajectory is troubling.

3. Describe the Data
Key elements?
● Medicare recipients population is increasing as more baby
boomers retire.
● Government spending on Medicare is increasing.
● Increase in premiums on other health insurances.

4. Describe Analysis and Results
Excel Chart:

- Shows each
health care
category and
the amount at
which the
government
spends in each.
- There is an
increase in
every category
from 2006 to

5. Describe Analysis and Results
Percent Difference Chart:
- Percent Difference between
expenditures from 2006 to 2009
- Shows that Medicare expenditure is
growing at a faster rate than other
health care expenditure.
State Example:
- All our data showed the same trend for every state
- California has the largest population of people receiving
Medicare
- All Premiums are rising except for Medicare, which is actually
decreasing

6. Describe Conclusions
◉ Medicare expenditures are increasing
◉ Percent difference chart included every state
◉ Health Care premiums for individuals under 65 are rising
◉ Expenditure chart showed an increase in every category
