| Tiivistelmä: | The Medicare program transfers nearly $300 billion annually from taxpayers to beneficiaries. This article considers the incidence of such transfers in the context of a life cycle model with uncertainty about future health care expenditures. The study finds the distributional consequences of the Medicare program to be roughly neutral in dollar terms; households living in high income neighborhoods pay more in taxes, but they also receive more in benefits. |
