10(a)(1) and (a)(2)). The Panel will 

discuss the long-term rate of change in 

health spending and may make 

recommendations to the Medicare 

Trustees on how the Trustees might 

more accurately estimate health 

spending in the long run. The Panel’s 

discussion is expected to be very 

technical in nature and will focus on the 

actuarial and economic assumptions 

and methods by which Trustees might 

more accurately measure health 

spending. Although panelists are not 

limited in the topics they may discuss, 

the Panel is not expected to discuss or 

recommend changes in current or future 

Medicare provider payment rates or 

coverage policy. This notice also 

announces the appointment of nine 

individuals to serve as members of the 

Panel. 

Meeting Date: November 23, 2010, 

9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. e.d.t.

Panel. They are: Joseph Newhouse, John 

Bertko, Barry Bosworth, Michael 

Chernew, John Cookson, Uwe 

Reinhardt, Geoffrey Sandler, Louise 

Sheiner, and Cori Uccello. 

Topics of the Meeting: The Panel is 

specifically charged with discussing and 

possibly making recommendations to 

the Medicare Trustees on how the 

Trustees might more accurately estimate 

the long term rate of health spending in 

the United States. The discussion is 

expected to focus on highly technical 

aspects of estimation involving 

economics and actuarial science. 

Panelists are not restricted, however, in 

the topics that they choose to discuss.

is open to the public. First, the
