The Medicare Program is the second-largest social insurance program in the U.S., with 55.3 million beneficiaries and total expenditures of $648 billion in 2015. The Boards of Trustees for Medicare (also Boards) report annually to the Congress on the financial operations and actuarial status of the program.
