* Excess real growth in medical costs, as a percentage. Real growth is 1.5% in 1992-2004, 1% in 2033, .4% in 2053, -.2% in 2083, linearly extrapolated. Source: CBO, CMS and SSA assumptions on * medical cost growth relative to GDP * UPDATE: ACA changed everything!!! * Starting in 2011, 'target' medical cost growth is the 5-year average of CPI-U and CPI-M, from which we subtracted CPI-U to get the real growth * Starting in 2018, real growth is GDP + 1 percentage point. GDP was copied from gdp.yearly.txt, but it is just 0.02 for ever 1990 9 1991 9 1992 9 1993 0.065 1994 0.075 1995 0.065 1996 0.075 1997 0.075 1998 0.075 1999 0.075 2000 0.075 2001 0.045 2002 0.045 2003 0.065 2004 0.085 2005 0.0748 2006 0.0747 2007 0.0645 2008 0.0443 2009 0.0041 2010 0.0139 2011 0.0091 2012 0.0077 2013 0.0061 2014 0.0041 2015 0.0067 2016 0.0069 2017 0.0066 2018 0.03 2019 0.03 2020 0.03 2021 0.03 2022 0.03 2023 0.03 2024 0.03 2025 0.03 2026 0.03 2027 0.03 2028 0.03 2029 0.03 2030 0.03 2031 0.03 2032 0.03 2033 0.03 2034 0.03 2035 0.03 2036 0.03 2037 0.03 2038 0.03 2039 0.03 2040 0.03 2041 0.03 2042 0.03 2043 0.03 2044 0.03 2045 0.03 2046 0.03 2047 0.03 2048 0.03 2049 0.03 2050 0.03 2051 0.03 2052 0.03 2053 0.03 2054 0.03 2055 0.03 2056 0.03 2057 0.03 2058 0.03 2059 0.03 2060 0.03 2061 0.03 2062 0.03 2063 0.03 2064 0.03 2065 0.03 2066 0.03 2067 0.03 2068 0.03 2069 0.03 2070 0.03 2071 0.03 2072 0.03 2073 0.03 2074 0.03 2075 0.03 2076 0.03 2077 0.03 2078 0.03 2079 0.03 2080 0.03 2081 0.03 2082 0.03 2083 0.03 2084 0.03 2085 0.03 2086 0.03 2087 0.03 2088 0.03 2089 0.03 2090 0.03 2091 0.03 2092 0.03 2093 0.03 2094 0.03 2095 0.03 2096 0.03 2097 0.03 2098 0.03 2099 0.03 2100 0.03 2101 0.03 2102 0.03 2103 0.03 2104 0.03 2105 0.03 2106 0.03 2107 0.03 2108 0.03 2109 0.03 2110 0.03 2111 0.03 2112 0.03 2113 0.03 2114 0.03 2115 0.03 2116 0.03 2117 0.03 2118 0.03 2119 0.03 2120 0.03 2121 0.03 2122 0.03 2123 0.03 2124 0.03 2125 0.03 2126 0.03 2127 0.03 2128 0.03 2129 0.03 2130 0.03 2131 0.03 2132 0.03 2133 0.03 2134 0.03 2135 0.03 2136 0.03 2137 0.03 2138 0.03 2139 0.03 2140 0.03 2141 0.03 2142 0.03 2143 0.03 2144 0.03 2145 0.03 2146 0.03 2147 0.03 2148 0.03 2149 0.03 2150 0.03
