24 (1) More than 46 million Americans depend on 

25 Medicare for their health security. 


tjames on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with BILLS
57 

•HCON 34 RH 

1 (2) The Medicare Trustees report has repeat2 edly recommended that Medicare’s long-term finan3 cial challenges be addressed soon. Each year without 

4 reform, the financial condition of Medicare becomes 

5 more precarious and the threat to those in and near 

6 retirement becomes more pronounced. According to 

7 the Congressional Budget Office— 

8 (A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund 

9 will be exhausted in 2020 and unable to pay 

10 scheduled benefits; and 

11 (B) Medicare spending is growing faster 

12 than the economy. Medicare outlays are cur13 rently rising at a rate of 7.2 percent per year, 

14 and under CBO’s alternative fiscal scenario, 

15 mandatory spending on Medicare is projected to 

16 reach 7 percent of GDP by 2035 and 14 per17 cent of GDP by 2080. 

18 (3) Failing to address this problem will leave 

19 millions of American seniors without adequate health 

20 security and younger generations burdened with 

21 enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot 

22 be sustained. 

23 (b) POLICY ON MEDICARE REFORM.—It is the policy 

24 of this resolution to protect those in and near retirement 

25 from any disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer

1 future beneficiaries the same health care options available 

2 to Members of Congress. 

3 (c) ASSUMPTIONS.—This resolution assumes reform 

4 of the Medicare program such that: 

5 (1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for 

6 those in and near retirement, without changes. 

7 (2) For future generations, when they reach eli8 gibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium 

9 support payment and a selection of guaranteed 

10 health coverage options from which recipients can 

11 choose a plan that best suits their needs. 

12 (3) Medicare will provide additional assistance 

13 for lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater 

14 health risks. 

15 (4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable 

16 path and the Medicare program becomes solvent 

17 over the long-term. 

18 SEC. 502. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. 

19 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

20 (1) More than 50 million reitrees and individ21 uals with a disability depend on Social Security for 

22 a key part of their income. Since enactment, Social 

23 Security has served as a vital leg on the ‘‘three24 legged stool’’ of retirement security, which includes

•HCON 34 RH 

1 employer provided pensions as well as personal sav2 ings. 

3 (2) The Social Security Trustees report has re4 peatedly recommended that Social Security’s long5 term financial challenges be addressed soon. Each 

6 year without reform, the financial condition of Social 

7 Security becomes more precarious and the threat to 

8 seniors and those receiving Social Security disability 

9 benefits becomes more pronounced: 

10 (A) In 2018, the Federal Disability Insur11 ance Trust Fund will be exhausted and will be 

12 unable to pay scheduled benefits. 

13 (B) In 2037, the combined Federal Old14 Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and 

15 Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will 

16 be exhausted, and will be unable to pay sched17 uled benefits. 

18 (C) With the exhaustion of the Trust 

19 Funds in 2037, benefits will be cut 22 percent 

20 across the board, devastating those currently in 

21 or near retirement and those who rely on Social 

22 Security the most.

1 jections find that Social Security has entered into 

2 permanent cash deficits. 

3 (4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Se4 curity for a larger proportion of their retirement in5 come. Therefore, reforms should take into consider6 ation the need to protect lower-income Americans’ 

7 retirement security. 

8 (5) Americans deserve action by their elected 

9 officials on Social Security reform. It is critical that 

10 the Congress and the administration work together 

11 in a bipartisan fashion to address the looming insol12 vency of Social Security. In this spirit, this resolu13 tion creates a bipartisan opportunity to find solu14 tions by requiring policymakers to ensure that Social

17 of this resolution that Congress should work on a bipar18 tisan basis to make Social Security permanently solvent.

21 (1)(A) if in any year the Board of Trustees of

12 SEC. 503. POLICY STATEMENT ON BUDGET ENFORCEMENT. 

13 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

14 (1) The President’s fiscal year 2012 budget re15 quests a $13 trillion increase in the debt subject to 

16 limit over the period of years covered by the budget. 

17 (2) Under the President’s fiscal year 2012 

18 budget, according to the Congressional Budget Of19 fice, debt held by the public will rise to 69 percent 

20 of gross domestic product in 2011 and will reach 

21 87.4 percent of gross domestic product by 2021. 

22 (3) The Congressional Budget Office, the Fed23 eral Reserve, the General Accountability Office, the 

24 President’s National Commission on Fiscal Respon25 sibility and Reform, and ten former Chairmen of the

•HCON 34 RH 

1 Council of Economic Advisors all concluded that 

2 debt is growing at unsustainable rates and must be 

3 brought under control. 

4 (4) Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the 

5 Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated, ‘‘Our national debt is 

6 our biggest national security threat.’’. 

7 (5) According to the Congressional Budget Of8 fice, if entitlements are not reformed, entitlement 

9 spending on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid 

10 will exceed the historical average of revenue collec11 tions as a share of the economy within forty years. 

12 (6) According to the Congressional Budget Of13 fice, under current policies, debt would reach levels 

14 that the economy could no longer sustain in 2037 

15 and a fiscal crisis is likely to occur well before that 

16 date. 

17 (7) To avoid a fiscal crisis, Congress must 

18 enact legislation that makes structural reforms to 

19 entitlement programs. 

20 (8) Instead of automatic debt increases (the 

21 ‘‘Gephardt rule’’ was repealed by the House in 

22 House Resolution 5) and automatic spending in23 creases, Congress needs to put limits on spending 

24 with automatic reductions if spending limits are not 

25 met.

•HCON 34 RH 

1 (9) The adoption of a conference report on this 

2 concurrent resolution will not cause the automatic 

3 passage of an increase in the debt limit by the 

4 House of Representatives. 

5 (10) Changes in debt levels assumed in this res6 olution are contingent upon its proposed spending 

7 reductions being achieved. 

8 (11) From 1990 to 2002, there were statutory 

9 enforceable limits on discretionary spending. 

10 (12) The budget lacks controls over spending in 

11 the short-term and the long-term. Greater trans12 parency and controls, particularly for entitlement 

13 spending in the long-term, are needed to provide 

14 Congress with tools to tackle this growing threat of

16 (b) POLICY ON DEBT CONTROLS.—It is the policy of 

17 this concurrent resolution on the budget that in order to
