Help the Center Grow
In the Center’s first 35 years, we have been catalysts for increasing the well-being of Medicare and of our neighbors, near and far. As our diverse, multi-generational community grows, so does the power and potential of the Center for Medicare Advocacy’s work – as does our commitment to advance more equitable access to quality health care during the next 35 years and beyond.

Ensuring Medicare’s Financial Health
This Issue Brief by Center for Medicare Advocacy Visiting Scholar Marilyn Moon reviews the fiscal solvency of Medicare and the Part A Trust Fund.
Since Medicare was introduced, the role of payroll taxes has been declining. There has been a major shift of spending from Part A, which is largely financed by payroll taxes, to Part B which is financed by general revenues and premiums. If payroll is a declining share, then the tax base is not keeping up with economic growth and may become less adequate over time, which is relevant in deciding whether to continue to rely on the payroll tax to fund the Medicare Trust Fund.
