health spending. This Committee is governed by the provisions of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2, section 
10(a)(1) and (a)(2)). The Committee is composed of 9 members appointed

Office of the Actuary, the Department of the Treasury and the Office of 
the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation on issues they wish 
the panel to address. This may be followed by HHS staff presentations 
regarding long range growth, sustainability of provider payments under 
ACA and MACRA, methods for transitioning from short term (10 year) to 
long term (75 year) projections and methods and presentation of 
uncertainty in the report. After any presentations, the
