Senior Health Fellow Cori Uccello discussed the Academy’s Health Costs/Quality of Care initiative on the April 29 edition of the “Health, Wealth and Wisdom” radio show, broadcast by WHNZ 1250 AM in Tampa, Fla.
Fuerst explains to listeners of Tampa Bay's WHNZ AM1250 that a change to accounting rules requested by some members of Congress could produce less useful reporting of pension obligations.
Academy Senior Pension Fellow Don Fuerst tells Chuck Jaffee, host of the Internet radio program MoneyLife, that the sooner Congress acts to make Social Security sustainably solvent, the better. Fuerst warns that the policy options for promoting sustainable solvency will only become more limited and difficult as time goes by without action.
