Entitlement Reform

Entitlement reform refers to changes made to government programs that provide benefits to individuals, such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. These programs are designed to support citizens in need, but as populations age and costs rise, they can strain government budgets. Reform may involve altering eligibility criteria, adjusting benefit levels, or changing funding structures to ensure these programs remain sustainable for future generations while still providing necessary support. The goal is to balance fiscal responsibility with the social safety net these programs offer.
