Presentation by Jessica S. Banthin, CBO’s Deputy Assistant Director for Health, Retirement, and Long-Term Analysis, to the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.
This presentation reviews CBO’s original and more recent projections of enrollment in health insurance policies through the exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act and the subsidies (including both premium tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies) provided to those enrollees, illustrating how the estimates have changed over time. CBO’s projections of 2014 exchange enrollment and subsidies are also compared with the actual enrollment and subsidies paid in that year.
In preparing its baseline projections of the federal budget, CBO models the budgetary costs of programs that insure single-family mortgages. This slide deck provides an overview of that modeling approach for the largest of those programs: the Federal Housing Administration and the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The Congressional Budget Office document analyzes the effects of raising the federal excise tax on cigarettes by 50 cents. It finds that such a policy would:
1) Reduce the number of smokers by over 2 million people by 2034 and improve health outcomes by lowering mortality and healthcare spending.
2) Increase federal revenues from the higher tax and decrease spending on federal health programs like Medicare and Medicaid due to the health improvements.
3) Positively impact the federal budget over both the 10-year budget window and longer-term through the above effects on revenues, outlays, and population.

In 2014, the federal government provided about $50 billion in housing assistance specifically designated for low-income households. This presentation describes the ways in which the federal government provides housing assistance to low-income households, provides information about the households that receive assistance, and lists some policy options for altering that assistance.
Presentation by Xiaotong Niu, an analyst in CBO's Health, Retirement, and Long-Term Analysis Division, at the Biennial Conference of the American Society of Health Economists.
The consequences of any change to Medicare for different socioeconomic groups depend on the distribution of taxes paid to and benefits received from the current system by each group. However, only a few studies have estimated that distribution, and they offer conflicting views. This presentation describes an analysis of the distribution of Medicare taxes and spending using a unique dataset with information on beneficiaries’ lifetime earnings and Medicare spending. The dataset includes more recent cohorts of beneficiaries than earlier studies, and the distribution of Medicare taxes and spending is projected based on demographic and economic projections from CBO’s long-term microsimulation model.
The Medicare system is progressive. For people born in the 1950s, lifetime Medicare spending net of both premiums and dedicated Medicare taxes, as a share of lifetime earnings, tends to be lower for beneficiaries with higher lifetime household earnings. Almost all of the variation in lifetime Medicare spending net of premiums by lifetime household earnings can be explained by the variation in life expectancy. Medicare is projected to become more progressive for later cohorts because lifetime earnings are expected to grow faster for those with higher earnings.
The federal government subsidizes health insurance for most Americans through a variety of programs and tax provisions. In 2017, net subsidies for people under age 65 will total $705 billion, CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate.
This presentation provides and overview of CBO and JCT’s current projections of health insurance coverage and how those projections have changed since March 2016, highlighting changes in Medicaid and CHIP enrollment and nongroup coverage.

Presentation by Chad Shirley, Deputy Assistant Director for Microeconomic Studies, at the National Association for Business Economics Annual Meeting panel discussion on prioritizing infrastructure investment.
The document outlines the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) new requirements to incorporate macroeconomic effects into legislative cost estimates for bills estimated to have large budgetary impacts. It describes CBO's models and approaches for estimating both short-term effects on economic output and long-term effects on potential output from changes in fiscal policies. The document also provides details on how CBO analyzes factors like demand multipliers, labor supply responses, investment effects, and more.
Presentation by Ben Page, CBO's Fiscal Policy Studies Unit Chief, at the National Tax Association 108th Annual Conference on Taxation.
CBO’s long-term budget projections generally reflect current law and estimates of future economic conditions and demographic trends. Those projections depend on estimates of the future paths of mortality rates, productivity, interest rates, and health care costs, among many other variables. To illustrate some of the uncertainty about long-term budgetary outcomes, CBO constructed alternative projections showing what would happen to the budget if those factors differed from the values used in the extended baseline.
Federal health care spending is growing faster than both the economy and other areas of federal spending due to three main factors: population aging, expansion of federal subsidies for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, and rising health care costs per person. While population aging cannot be addressed, lawmakers could roll back the ACA's expansion of coverage or reduce federal subsidies to lower spending. CBO analyzed options like repealing the ACA, limiting exchange subsidies, and increasing Medicare premiums that could significantly reduce spending. Addressing rising health care costs per person will also be important to control long-term spending growth.

Presentation by Julie Topoleski, Chief of the Long-Term Analysis Unit in CBO’s Health, Retirement, and Long-Term Analysis Division, to the Social Security Advisory Board.
Both CBO and the Social Security Trustees project a shortfall in Social Security’s finances, but they differ in their assessment of its magnitude. This presentation describes that difference and the major factors that contribute to it.
This document provides an overview of the Congressional Budget Office's approach to dynamic scoring. It discusses:
1) The new requirement for CBO to incorporate macroeconomic feedback effects into its estimates of major legislation.
2) CBO's models and methodology for analyzing short and long-term economic effects of fiscal policy changes.
3) A case study on CBO's dynamic estimate of repealing the Affordable Care Act, which found repealing it would increase deficits by $137 billion over 10 years after accounting for macroeconomic feedback effects.
The document discusses perspectives on the US national debt and health care costs. It notes that while the current national debt is 40% of GDP, it has been higher historically. It argues that economic growth through infrastructure investment can help reduce the debt. It also notes that rising health care costs, not entitlement programs, are the main fiscal problem. Health care spending has grown faster in the US than other nations in recent decades and threatens to absorb half the economy. Solutions require addressing the underlying health care cost crisis.
1. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) prepares annual economic forecasts that underlie its federal budget projections, including key variables like output growth, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, and wages.
2. CBO evaluates the accuracy of its economic forecasts every two years. Its measures include mean error to assess bias, root mean square error to measure accuracy, and two-thirds spread to illustrate typical error ranges.
3. CBO's forecasts tend to be slightly more accurate and less biased than the Administration's, and on par with the Blue Chip consensus forecasts. Major sources of forecast errors include turning points in recessions, shifts in productivity trends, changes in oil prices, and persistent declines in interest rates.
Presentation by Kathleen Burke, John McClelland, and Jennifer Shand, analysts in CBO’s Tax Analysis Division, to the National Association of Legislative Fiscal Offices.
In 2010, more than 70 percent of families directly owned capital assets that had a combined worth of $50 trillion. In that year, taxpayers reported net long-term gains and net long-term losses that totaled $123 billion from the sale of those types of assets.
In this report, CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation examine the distribution of capital assets and net capital gains and losses in 2010 by type of asset and by the income and age of the asset holder.
Presentation by Tamara Hayford, Chief of CBO’s Health Policy Studies Unit, at the Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management 2021 Annual Research Meeting.
Presentation to the 2014 Fall Research Conference of the Association of Public Policy and Mangement, by Joyce Manchester, Vermont Legislative Joint Fiscal Office and formerly of CBO, Michael Simpson and Geena Kim, of CBO
This presentation from the Congressional Budget Office summarizes two reports on the distribution of household income, federal taxes, and government spending. It finds that income is highly skewed towards the top, inequality has increased over time, and the tax system is progressive, though average tax rates are low. It also shows that examining both taxes and spending is important, as the elderly receive more in spending than they pay in taxes, and allocating public goods is challenging but necessary.
Pharmaceutical Mergers Acquisitions in the U.SCapgemini
Since 2010, approximately 200 pharmaceutical and biotech deals have taken place per year in the United States. In 2014, only 182 major deals took place, lower than average (~190).
However, 2014 surpassed the combined value of deals from 2011-2013 ($178bn) and saw over $200bn in mergers and acquisitions, a 300% increase from the previous year.
The Future of Medical Education - Top Trends Likely to Have an Impact on the ...Ogilvy Health
The document summarizes key trends that are likely to impact the healthcare industry in the next decade based on a panel discussion with experts. Three major trends are: 1) Increased accountability and use of real-world data by pharmaceutical companies as patients have more medical information. 2) The rise of the "digitally enabled patient" as wearables and devices give patients and doctors more data to self-monitor health. 3) The impact of hyper-connected learners who will increasingly personalize their medical education online.
This document summarizes information about prescription drug costs and development. It discusses how medicines have transformed treatment for diseases like hepatitis C and cancer. Developing new treatments takes over 10 years and $2.6 billion on average, with only 12% of drug candidates being approved. Medicines help avoid expensive medical services and provide major savings to the healthcare system. While drug costs have risen, they account for a stable share of overall healthcare spending and are projected to grow in line with other healthcare costs. Many factors influence drug prices, including discounts, rebates, and competition from generics.
This document summarizes a presentation about the role of social media in healthcare given by Lee Aase from the Mayo Clinic Social Media Network. The presentation discusses how social media has become an important part of Mayo Clinic's operations and patient outreach over time. It also highlights two Canadian collaborations, including developing an online social media curriculum with Hootsuite and hiring a community director. The presentation promotes the Mayo Clinic Social Media Network as a resource for healthcare professionals to learn best practices in using social media.
How do we see the healthcare's digital future and its impact on our lives?Jane Vita
"Healthcare is undergoing major changes spurred on by, but not limited to, technology.
Digitalisation is changing the way we think about health, what taking care of it really entails, our personal role in healthcare systems and the way we interact with technology in the context of health.
In many ways, we are entering a post-institutional age of increased personal responsibility, which presents healthcare service providers and other players in the field with major opportunities and great risks. Technology has the potential to empower people and help them become more active in the management of their and their families’ health. This will change the relationship of the patient and the caregiver in profound ways." Mirkka Länsisalo

The Digital Prescription for Pharmacy Event - Digital Leadership for Pharmaci...Doyle Buehler
The Prescription For Pharmacy is a live webcast event for the launch of the book and training program.
The presentation is about defining your digital leadership online for Chemist, and what they can do to actually make online work for their pharmacy.
There is no quick fix - it is not as easy as taking a pill to get your online platform ready and working for your pharmacy.
We will deep dive into what it takes to connect social media, your website, your digital strategy, your content plan, how to put in a working sales funnel, how to advertise, how to create branding with visuals and videos. It's going to take some work, but you need to start somewhere.
Most pharmacists do not have a clear strategy for making online work, and work well. It is more about creating a conversation with your audience which will then create the conversions that every business needs.
Pharmacy is no different than other business - Pharmacists need to recognise how to easily put together a solid digital strategy, to ensure that their store survives the digital disruption.
The document discusses trends in the healthcare industry in the United States. It notes that healthcare accounts for 18% of the US economy and demand for healthcare jobs is growing rapidly. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of healthcare jobs will increase from 10.1 million to 13.1 million. The document also highlights that most new healthcare jobs will require postsecondary education and there will be a need for workers to continuously update their skills and learning through their careers.
Hugh Mason gave this keynote presentation at the Media Exploits 2015, SE Asia's largest Infocomm Media Technology commercialisation showcase and networking event, held in Singapore. Seismic macro-level trends are disrupting the healthcare industry, opening up new opportunities for innovation. Lean Startup is one of a range of tools and approaches that help to provide a patient-centred approach to making sense and making money in the new landscape.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

UX, ethnography and possibilities: for Libraries, Museums and ArchivesNed Potter
1) The document discusses how the University of York Library has used various user experience (UX) techniques like ethnographic observation and interviews to better understand user needs and behaviors.
2) Some changes implemented based on UX findings include installing hot water taps, changing hours, and adding blankets - aimed at improving the small details of user experience.
3) The presentation encourages other libraries, archives and museums to try incorporating UX techniques like behavioral mapping and cognitive interviews to inform design changes that enhance services for users.
The document discusses designing teams and processes to adapt to changing needs. It recommends structuring teams so members can work within their competencies and across projects fluidly with clear roles and expectations. The design process should support the team and their work, and be flexible enough to change with team, organization, and project needs. An effective team culture builds an environment where members feel free to be themselves, voice opinions, and feel supported.

The FY 2014 Budget Proposals and Where Do We Go From HereMercatus Center
This document summarizes Dr. Jason Fichtner's presentation on the FY 2014 budget proposals and the current fiscal condition. It discusses the Congressional Budget Office's baseline projections of budget deficits and debt through 2023. It notes that autopilot spending on entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are driving deficits and debt. The document compares the Obama administration's and House Republican budgets and shows that deficits would remain even if discretionary spending was frozen or cut by 1-2% due to growth in mandatory spending on entitlement programs.

This document provides an analysis of Brevard County's budget organization and design. It begins with a review of recommended budget practices from Michel and the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting. It then describes Brevard County's budget process and compares it to the recommended practices. Brevard County faces major financial challenges from declining property values and tax revenues. The county developed its budget through a two-pronged approach of creating the current year budget while also developing a long-term strategic plan to address projected reductions in property taxes through 2015. The county engaged stakeholders and prioritized maintaining its aggregate property tax rate to guide budget decisions in challenging times.

Myanmar first citizen's budget 2015 for 52 yearsMYO AUNG Myanmar
On 30 November, Spectrum received the Myanmar government’s 2015-16 Citizen’s Budget as part of the Ministry of Finance’s public distribution of 5,000 copies. To the best of our knowledge, the last Citizen’s Budget in Myanmar was released in 1963-64 – more than five decades ago. Spectrum is delighted that a Citizen’s Budget has been released. Together with UNICEF, our team developed a companion guide to the Citizen’s Budget called “Budget Guides for Growing Citizens” to support the introduction of national financial management to school students. The logic is that it is never too early to teach active citizen’s about their economic and social rights and about financial transparency and accountability. As the young girl character in the cartoon books voices: “now I understand that the nation’s wealth is our money!” Informed citizens will be the key driver for national transparency and accountability. In the chapter on "National Budget Transparency" in the 2012-2105 Framework for Economic and Social Reform (FESR), budgets are discussed as a critical link for citizen participation in democratic processes of national development. It highlights that “international experience certainly shows that civil society engagement can significantly improve budget processes, decisions and outcomes and thus transform the lives of people.” It continues “international experience also demonstrates the critical importance of at least eight key budget documents being released to the public and made available for discussion, namely the pre-budget statement, executive’s budget proposal, enacted budget, Citizens’ Budget or guide to the budget for citizens, in-year reports, mid-year review, end-year report, and audit report.” As a quick win, in the FESR the government committed to “consider preparing, publishing and making easily accessible for citizens as many of these reports as possible.” For Myanmar the public availability of a Citizen’s Budget represents special progress. The government has actually produced six of the eight key budget documents, but they have not been released or published in an accessible or timely way. Timely public release of budget reports can greatly improve Myanmar’s Open Budget Survey. Myanmar scored 0 out of 100 in 2012 and 2 out of 100 in the 2015 survey. Despite these low scores, very rapid improvement is possible. A good example of “timely release” seems to be Myanmar’s first Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) report. The draft report was made available to representative civil society groups on 8 December, in advance of discussion in the Multi-stakeholder Group (MSG) on 18 December. It is due to be published and submitted to the EITI Secretariat by 1 January 2016.

The Congressional Budget Office produces an economic forecast to use as an input for federal budget projections and analysis of legislative proposals. CBO's forecast is based on a neoclassical growth model that projects potential and actual output. Potential output depends on estimates of the potential labor force, capital stock services, and total factor productivity. In CBO's view, productivity growth has been weaker than expected since the recession due to continued effects of the recession, data revisions, and fiscal policy changes.
The federal government subsidizes health insurance for most Americans through a variety of programs and tax provisions. In 2017, net subsidies for people under age 65 will total $705 billion, CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate.

Presentation by Keith Hall, CBO Director, at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s 2016 Fiscal Summit.
In 2016, the federal budget deficit will increase, in relation to the size of the economy, for the first time since 2009, according to CBO’s estimates. If current laws generally remained unchanged, the deficit would grow over the next 10 years, and by 2026 it would be considerably larger than its average over the past 50 years, CBO projects. Debt held by the public would also grow significantly from its already high level.
To analyze the state of the budget in the long term, CBO has extrapolated its 10-year baseline projections an additional two decades. If current laws governing taxes and spending remain in place, the outlook for the budget would steadily worsen over the long term, with revenues falling well short of spending. CBO is in the process of completing a detailed update of its long-term projections; but in January the agency did a simplified update. On that basis, budget deficits are projected to rise steadily and federal debt held by the public is projected to exceed 130 percent of GDP by 2040.
To put the federal budget on a sustainable path for the long term, lawmakers would have to make major changes to tax policies, spending policies, or both – by reducing spending for large benefit programs below the projected amounts, letting revenues rise more than they would under current law, or adopting some combination of those approaches. The size of such changes would depend on the amount of federal debt that lawmakers considered appropriate.

Caring for dogs involves a combination of essential practices to ensure their health, happiness, and overall well-being. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to care for your canine companion:
1. **Nutrition**: Provide a balanced diet suitable for your dog’s age, size, and activity level. High-quality commercial dog food or a vet-approved homemade diet should include protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Ensure access to fresh water at all times.
2. **Exercise**: Regular physical activity is crucial for a dog’s physical and mental health. The amount and type of exercise vary by breed and age, but daily walks, playtime, and interactive activities like fetch or agility training are beneficial.
3. **Grooming**: Regular grooming helps maintain your dog’s coat, skin, and overall hygiene. Brushing, bathing (as needed), nail trimming and dental care (brushing teeth regularly) are essential. Long-haired breeds may require more frequent grooming.
4. **Veterinary Care**: Schedule regular check-ups with a veterinarian for vaccinations, parasite control (fleas, ticks, worms), and overall health assessments. Early detection of health issues can prolong your dog’s life and reduce treatment costs.
5. **Training and Socialization**: Basic obedience training (sit, stay, come) improves behavior and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Socialization with other dogs and people from an early age helps prevent behavioral problems.
6. **Safe Environment**: Create a safe and comfortable living environment for your dog. Provide a cozy bed or crate, access to shelter from extreme weather conditions, and secure, hazard-free outdoor areas. Be cautious of toxic substances, plants, and foods harmful to
dogs.
7. **Love and Attention**: Dogs thrive on companionship and affection. Spend quality time with your dog, offering praise, cuddles, and interactive play. Mental stimulation through toys, puzzles, and new experiences keeps them engaged and happy.
8. **Monitoring Health**: Watch for signs of illness or discomfort such as changes in appetite, energy levels, or bathroom habits. Promptly address any concerns by consulting your veterinarian.
9. **Responsible Ownership**: Adhere to local regulations regarding dog ownership, including licensing and identification (microchipping). Respect others by preventing excessive barking and picking up after your dog in public spaces.
10. **Emergency Preparedness**: Have a plan in case of emergencies, including natural disasters or sudden health crises. Keep a first aid kit for pets and know where the nearest emergency veterinary clinic is located.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your dog lives a happy, healthy life as a cherished member of your family.
The link between skin conditions and mental health issues can be common; problems like dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis often connect with psychological factors. Mind care is crucial for addressing these skin disorders effectively and improving overall well-being.

Strategy and policy
A Combinatorial Antihypertensive Drug (Reserpine and Hydrazine) Does Not Caus...CrimsonPublishersGGS
Background and objectives: Reserpine, a traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine, is approved by the FDA to treat hypertension and for treatment
resistant psychosis. The major reported side effect of reserpine is depression. Hence, hypertensive patients on prolonged reserpine treatment were
evaluated for occurrence of depression.
Methods: One-time cross-sectional evaluation was done in 104 subjects on reserpine and 105 controls, who were matched for age (majority being
between 50- 70 years old), sex, education, and social background. The Control group had no chronic disease and the treatment group comprised of
hypertensive patients who had received reserpine as Adelphane (0.1mg reserpine and 10mg of hydralazine) or Adelphane Esidrex [Novaritis (Basel,
Switzerland)] for more than 1 year. Both the groups were asked to answer (and were rated by) Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17-items
version). The results were scored, statistically analyzed and plotted with Sigma Plot.
