The Century Foundation
June 10, 2004
13 pages. Excerpt: The stocks, bonds, pension rights, and Social Security payments that retirees on for income constitute a web of claims and promises on the future output of the economy, and so, ultimately, it is workers that produce the income that supports retirees. The most important goal of creating a policy for a secure retirement is to put in place a set of claims and promises that guarantee that this flow of income is sufficient and secure.

"Andrew G. Biggs, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, argues that The Century Foundation and other progressive institutions mislead the public when we note that U.S. Social Security benefit levels rank near the bottom among the public pensions of economically advanced countries."

44 pages. Excerpt: In [the] new book cosponsored by The Century Foundation and the Institute on Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University, J. Larry Brown, Robert Kuttner, Thomas M.

7 pages. Excerpt: Advocates of Social Security privatization often argue that young adults would be better off when they retire if they could divert a portion of their Social Security payroll tax to private investment accounts. On the contrary, argues a new issue brief by Century Foundation program officer Libby Perl, today's young people would receive much lower guaranteed benefits with private accounts than they would under the current system.

May 25, 2005
7 pages. Excerpt: [C]laims by [the] New Dismal Scientists (NDS) of a 'generational crisis' are almost entirely bogus. This brief criticizes the doomsday projections of the NDS, exploring why: the implicit moral/ethical foundation for such arguments is ad hoc and unconvincing; super-long-run projections are too sensitive to assumptions to be useful; and how, if the NDS' health care cost assumptions hold, the problem will not be generational.

Excerpt: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Commission to Build a Healthier America has just released a new report: Beyond Health Care.... 'Beyond Health Care' does a masterful job of pointing out that the conventional wisdom about what we need to do to improve the health of our population is blinkered. Many pundits assume that providing access to medical care will solve our problems. Others insist that lecturing Americans on 'personal responsibility' will do the trick. The report makes it clear that the received wisdom is wrong on both counts.

Help, I've Fallen Into the Doughnut Hole and I Can't Get Up: The Problems with Medicare Part D (PDF)
The Century Foundation
Oct. 29, 2008
8 pages. Excerpt: This issue is so important that the president elect, as well as the members of the new Congress, should be pushed to develop concrete proposals for helping seniors escape the doughnut hole well in advance of the inauguration. For once in office, the president will be so busy dealing with the extremely volatile global economy, what looks like a recession in this country, and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan that addressing the problem of the coverage gap could fall by the wayside, becoming the subject of commissions and task forces rather than action.

Excerpt: I analyzed the many myths about the Cadillac tax in an earlier post, but I'm coming back to the subject for two reasons. First, commentators continue to misrepresent the effect that the tax will have, and secondly, it seems that as negotiations come down to the wire, media myths are carrying the day. I would like HealthBeat readers to understand the facts. (Let me emphasize that I'm not alone.[)]
