The article reports on the improvement in the financial health of the U.S. Social Security and Medicare. Topics discussed include the role of the strong labor market in the improvement in the financial health of the two safety net programs, the implications of the 2024 presidential elections on the programs as President Joe Biden promises to block any cuts while former president Donald Trump is open to cutting the programs, and the negative overall financial outlook for the two programs.
