Our Nation's social insurance programs are vast and encompass everything from education and housing to income support, health, nutrition and workforce development. CAUS is focused on the federal and state programs that support retirement income and health insurance amongst our nations vulnerable populations. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are all financed through income tax with entitlements (Social Security and Medicare) undergoing an annual appropriations process to determine budgets and funding. The importance laying out a proper financial framework for these programs cannot be stressed enough. We are at a critical juncture given the looming commitments that have been made to plan participants without any viable grasp as to the financial insolvency of these programs.
