If you're not earning the same paycheck and don't have a lot of savings, you may be forced to cut back on spending once your time in the workforce has come to an end. But if there's one expense than tends to rise in retirement rather than fall, it's healthcare.

Take out another $7 billion in administrative expenses, and the program's trust funds shrank by $41 billion in 2023, and we expect these deficits to continue over the coming years.
