EXHIBIT 3. Change In Income Support Spending In Various Scenarios Compared To Status Quo, Billions Of Dollars, 2010–60.

EXHIBIT 3

SOURCE Authors’ calculations using the Future Elderly Model.

NOTES All spending is in 2010 dollars. The exhibit shows per period (nondiscounted) projected spending on income support under various medical progress scenarios, relative to the status quo scenario. Income support includes all Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, Social Security Disability Insurance (OASDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) spending on Americans age fifty-one or older. Spending is much higher under the delayed aging scenario because of the larger increase in the total population (Exhibit 1).
