1/ I’m excited to unveil our new @KFF interactive on #Medicare spending.

We do a deep dive on enrollment growth, spending trends, the expanding role of #MedicareAdvantage, Part A trust fund solvency & more.

Here's a quick look at what's inside: kff.org/interactive/me… 2/ #Medicare now covers 65 million older adults and younger people with disabilities, or about 1 in 5 Americans. Its size and importance often make it a big part of federal budget and health care spending discussions.

By 2060, enrollment is expected to grow to 93 million people.
