Medicare is one of the most significant public entitlement programs in the United States, and certainly the most important program in health.
We will focus in particular on how rates of return vary with permanent income and education.
These tax rates, along with the Medicare earnings cap, are shown in Table 2.
For example, suppose a worker in 1967 had $6000 in wage income, and $4000 in self-employment income.
Table 8 illustrates the net present value of Medicare benefits that result if we apply our maximum five percent annual real rate of growth to the MCBS data.
To compute the average family Medicare benefit for, say, X year-old college-educated males, we use the proportion of this population that has a living spouse or ex-spouse, along with the distribution of spousal education for 65 year-old college-educated males in the HRS.
