SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Purpose

    The Panel will discuss the long-term rate of change in health 
spending and may make recommendations to the Secretary on how the 
Medicare Trustees might more accurately estimate health spending in the 
short and long run. The Panel's discussion is expected to be very 
technical in nature and will focus on the actuarial and economic 
assumptions and methods by which Trustees might more accurately measure 
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 nine members 
appointed by the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.

II. Agenda

    The Panel will likely hear presentations from two outside experts; 
one on prescription drugs spending and a second on spillover effects. 
In addition the HHS Office of the Actuary will present on issues the 
panel may wish to address. Additional presentations regarding long 
range growth, sustainability of provider payments under Affordable Care 
Act (ACA) and Medicare Access and Chip Reauthorization Act (MACRA), 
methods for transitioning from short term (10 year) to long term (75 
year) projections and methods and the presentation of uncertainty in 
the report may follow. After any presentations, the Panel will 
deliberate openly on the topics. Interested persons may observe the 
deliberations, but the Panel will not hear public comments during this 
time. The Panel will also allow an open public session for any attendee 
to address issues specific to the topic.

    The Monday, December 19, 2016 and Tuesday, December 20, 2016 
meetings are open to the public; however, in-person attendance is
