Insolvency for Social Security and Medicare Is Seen Closer

Medicare fund that pays hospital bills for older Americans is expected to run out of money in 2017

Social Security trust fund will be exhausted in 2037

中国是学习美国的。

Medicare相当于企业帮员工交的医疗保险；Social Security相当于企业帮员工交的失业险、养老险、工伤险、生育险。美国还有一个Medicaid，不用beneficiary交保险的，政府免费发放的。这三个机构的运作都是联邦政府统一领导，这样一来各个州的人就可以自由流动，找工作也可以跨州了。虽说中国也是中央政府和地方政府双重领导，但是跨省还是没有联机

显然，中国和美国都有社保基金的腐败案。

Spending on Social Security and Medicare totaled more than $1 trillion last year, accounting for more than one-third of the federal budget.

With fewer people working, the government collectsless in payroll taxes, a major source of financing for Medicare and Social Security

失业率上升，Medicare and Social Security的支出也在增加，收入却在减少

中国也可能出现同样的问题，敲响了警钟。
