Description: In session 3 PD of the Palm Desert Spring Meeting panelists discuss Mexico's recently amended Social Security Institute law. This action stems from the fact that social security in its present form cannot be sustained. The changes are intended to reflect expected demographic shifts and to increase national savings. From the Record of the Society of Actuaries, Vol. 23, No. 1.

Description: In this article the author chides the authors of the 'SUMMARY OF THE 2010 ANNUAL REPORTS SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES' for presenting biased 'misinformation and disinformation in their Message to the Public, and for their contribution to public ignorance about Social Security and Medicare financing.' He attributes this to the fact that the Boards are devoid of public trustees, and consist solely of partisan political appointees.
