Medicare hospital trust pushed to 2026 in trustees report

With 58 million on benefits, the plan highlights slower health spending growth and lower Medicare costs as partial relief amid looming funding gaps. President Obama aims to bolster both programs with Congress, amid political risk over benefit cuts or tax hikes.
