we suggest this premium could either be an additional element to national insurance, which to ensure ability desired by the public and the citizens assembly, should be placed in an appropriately—named and dedicated fund, regularly and independently audited. all repaid into independent insurance funds similar to the german model. we strongly believe that a funding solution was fair between generations. we recommend that those aged under a0 should be exempt from the premium, and paid by those still working after the age of 65. we also recommend that a specified additional amount of inheritance tax should be levied on all esstates above a certain threshold, and capped at a percentage of the total value. this is intended to avoid the catastrophic cost for some individuals who currently have to lose the vast majority of their assets, including their homes, to pay for care costs. i say on behalf of select committees to both front—benchers, if we on a cross—party cross, cross—committee basis can unanimously reach difficult decisions and make clear recommendations, can't you do the same? use

this is particularly about national insurance, the abandonment of national insurance at the age of 65ial care? i think that would right. it would receive quite a warm welcome in some areas. would right. it would receive quite a warm welcome in some areasm proved to be a difficult subject for conservatives at the last general election. you had that rerating of policy on the trot. but it is a problem which won't go away. the whole policy went down like a lead balloon in the manifesto. it was so badly packaged and presented, only one in five would be affected, but six in six thought they would. pensioners felt rather got at, and traditionally they are voting for the tories in that generation above 65. it is interesting. i think most people on the street think it is ludicrous that social care and the nhs are not budgeted in the same budget, and there is this onus on local authorities, who have different demographics, and generational lee as well, authorities with old people need more money. some inner—city london boroughs are not in the same situation as rural wiltshire. once again, a pol

so it is very likely that this is going to lead to an increase in national insurance and taxation, bothommitment to cut corporation tax, i wonder weather that will be revisited. a number of think—tanks, not ours but others, who specialise in this area, have also suggested to look at the national insurance contributions made by people of pension age who are still working. so there are a number of options but not that many. the institute for fiscal studies and the resolution foundation have both made the point that the headroom available to the chancellor is not great. how important to you is a commensurate increase in social care funding so that the nhs doesn't have to sort of perform that function, too?m that the nhs doesn't have to sort of perform that function, too? it is a very important point. the announcement that has been made today only actually applies to the co re today only actually applies to the core pa rt of today only actually applies to the core part of the nhs. it also does not deal with public health, a really important thing which needs to be improved if we are going t

will come back from the eu, that is at best uncertain, at worst misleading, so expect extra national insuranceolds to be frozen. these plans for the nhs will be funded by increases in borrowing, the tories putting up borrowing and increases in taxation. now, what jeremy hunt, theresa may and chancellor have to do is level with the british people and tell us which taxes are going up. with patients and members of the public be willing to stump up? yes and no depending on whether it will actually go to the nhs. the fear is you will pay it and go somewhere else. if you ask that question to an able—bodied person and they are working i don't see their argument as to why they shouldn't pay. if you ask the lower class people and middle class they don't really own much to be given to supply their family as well as pay tax for the nhs at the same time. this is a big promise and a big change. until recently the prime minister said there was no magic money tree somewhere for health. well, she hasn't found it but the politics have moved and changed her mind. but vowing billions more is the comparatively ea

if they we re national insurance rates.ted by any sense. one of the key things here is that we have raised spending on health and pensions and other things over the last 60, 70 years. over the long run we have done that by cutting spending on other things. particularly defence and housing, it's very hard to see how you can do that going forward. it truly does look but we will have to accept in the longer run if we want to help service that delivers what we need and what we want, then taxes will go up and what we want, then taxes will go up over the medium—term. and what we want, then taxes will go up over the medium-term. the other thing to draw to it is that once one government department sees the coffers opening to a degree, others will think what about me? that partly underlies the negotiations that have been going on the treasury of the department of health and the treasury is quite worried about this. they are worried first because this. they are worried first because this in itself is a lot of money when they have got

meaning that it should be paid for by an increase in national insurance? and i think it would not be difficult to describe that increase as for the nhs and i think on the whole, most people want to have a properly funded health care system that can deliver world—class health care. and this would be a way of ringfencing that money, if you like, in order to be able to tell people that that extra tax would be going to was the nhs?” people that that extra tax would be going to was the nhs? i think so. most people feel very strongly that health care should be free for everyone, that it is a central part of the fairness in our society and they are prepared to pay a bit more to ensure that we get that.|j they are prepared to pay a bit more to ensure that we get that. i think it is the right way to do it. i suppose the big question is how to spend the money effectively. the arguments are going on about how the money will be raised, but how to spend it effectively. history is that when large amounts of money coming to the nhs, it is spent badly. that has been histo

that will be three or 4p on income rates, two or 3p and national insurance rates. along period of not increasing announcers, it's not historically unprecedented by any sense but one of the key things here is that we have raised spending on health and pensions and other things over the last 60—70 years. 0ver things over the last 60—70 years. over the long run, we've done that by cutting spending on other things, particularly defence, but also housing. it is very hard to see how you can do that going forward. but we will have to accept in the longer run, if we want the health service that delivers what we need are what we want, taxes will go up over the medium term. i suppose the other thing to draw from it is once one government department sees the coffers opening toa department sees the coffers opening to a degree, others will think, what about me? i think that partly underlies the negotiations that have been going on between the treasury and the department of health. the treasury is quite worried about this. they are worried first because this. they are worried fi

proof of income tax and national insurance payments were not accepted.migrants whose tabloids and indeed some of the papers who should have a better knowledge took the view that politicians knew best. and of course, they were taken to a situation where home became a place they know not. over in the commons, mps held a backbench debate on the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the windrush migrants. dawn butler, a labour mp, spoke of her parents, who came from jamaica. herfather had manyjobs — including as a musician. he used to tell me about the stories of him singing in the pubs where black people were not even welcomed or were scared to go. and i feel that when my dad came to this country he contributed greatly, not only in the work that he did but in breaking down societal barriers, so many barriers. and once he made enough money he rented a room and sent for my mother and my mother came to this country and was surprised at a number of things. that food was cooked without any seasoning. that english people only bathed once a week and went to bathhouse

have to send anything and if you say you are working in the uk for ten years, you give your national insuranceber and we check those against records, you don't have to send anything, it's all done electronically. we would like that to work for anyone, whatever smartphone they've got, but we don't control obviously their own software or hardware but we are trying to work with them and at the moment, there is an issue. how confident are you that the home office is able to deliver the technical, physical infrastructure that is going to be needed to register three million eu nationals in this country? that is a massive task. how confident are you that this can be done? ever since the vote to leave and certainly the triggering of article 50, the home office has been preparing for this, it's always been understood that there's going to be some sort of scheme put in place, even before reaching the agreement with the eu. so there's been a lot of work going on for a long time. we are making use, as i've already alluded to, of new technology, new processes, keeping it as simple as possible, which helps

the national academy of national insurance, people from the right, left and center can talk about our insurance program in a civil discourse and also to -- and social security is the most important of those programs. with that i would like to ntroduce our speakers, steve and doug.n, henry their full bios are in the pacts. if you want more information on the speakers. i would like to introduce steve to begin talking about the programs. >> great. >> thank you very much. and we are going to do a tag team. e have a number of slides. we don't want toll keep you from the eloquence of rest of our folks. >> we have a lot more detail. the three primary changes is in he area of trust fund. 2016 all the way out to 2022 and the next trustees' report we brought one more year. and after that, then in the 2017 trustees' report, five more years to 2028 and we are going another four years to 2032. this is pretty good news. and why? the experience has been quite remarkable. and we have slides. but applications have been dropping dramatically. we have a couple of changes, the most significant is social

the national academy of social insurance posted this event. >> i think were ready to get started. on behalf of the national academy of social insurance of board of directors, whom we have two representatives who will be introduced to you momentarily, the extraordinary dedicated staff of the academy, many of whom are here, and members of the lifeblood economy, i like to welcome all of you to this annual briefing we conduct with a key group of panelists on social security finances. i'm the chief executive of the academy. i just came back, along with josh, from arlington cemetery, where today we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the end of robert kennedy campaign. knowing the age group in this room, how many of you have heard of robert f kennedy? i feel much better. i asked the interns that, and you get all these like who? i work for them as you know. i was on his senate staff, and you might say today as you might expect a very, very difficult day. yet very uplifting. what does that have to do with this? in 1968 his campaign was an 85 day campaign. he gave one speech on social secu

insurance. its mission is to advance solutions and challenges facing the nation by increasing public understanding of how social insurance contributes to economic security. before we begin, i wanted to call attention to -- bill already thanked our staff, which i would echo, but in addition i wanted to call attention to a brief which elliot conservatisc the back, that's available, many of you picked it up on the way in. today's briefing is at first glance about numbers. the financial outlook for social security. projected revenue, projected spending, trust-fund reserves, et cetera, over the next 75 years. i wanted to highlight two other numbers which are relevant today, one bill already touched upon. the first is that today at 74th anniversary of d-day when millions of -- when hundreds of thousands of americans stormed the beaches of normandy. 53,000 americans died that day and many more were injured. so i think that's something we should keep in mind today. and as bill mentioned also, it's the 50th anniversary of the assassination of robert kennedy. both of these events bring to mind the sacrifice

he was the first alabama n to become the national insurance of commissioners, met with presidents, clintonut before all of that, he was a struggling artist in the bay area. that's where i got that from. but his life really started in a shack in reddenberg alabama, 100 miles outside of mobile. a population of 312 and shack is son land my family owns, right off of -- don't get too impressed -- bell road. >> tonight at 10:00 here on cnn. >> a non-profit in new york city is taking a stand against assaults aimed at transgender people and brook tells us how the anti- violenviolence projec >> it is a cost for you to be napologetic self. >> fry, felicia mitchell, pavonne, a few of the trans people murdered in 2018. one in four trans people have been assaulted because of their identity. the new york anti-violence project is working to help. >> avp coordinates the national coalition of anti- violenviolen programs, which is a network of about 50 organizations to end all forms of violence that impact the lgbtq community. we support survivors through a 24-hour bilingual hotline. staff and volunteers ar

being here and working here legitimately and their records can be easily checked against hmrc, national insuranceit will be straightforward. but some groups will not find it simple. those people who are not used to accessing applications online but used to paper applications, may find a problem. people working in the black economy, cash in hand jobs, they may not want to apply, they may be weary of getting the authorities involved. there is a technical problem at the moment which the home secretary has acknowledge. the home office has produced a special app which people can use but it doesn't work on apple devices, only on android. but 8 million applications over the next three years, something in the range of 4000, 5000 applications today that officials will have to process. we wonder if the computer systems will be able to cope that? thank with you, danny. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, has said a "blame culture" in the nhs has to change to help uncover scandals such as the deaths at gosport war memorial hospital. he said it must be made easier for whistle—blowers to raise concerns, when th

gordon brown went down that road in 2001, the increased national insurance by 1p, the paper that bigple to sign up to tax increases, to say this is specifically for the nhs. thank you. we are hearing from theresa may shortly. let's take you to the hospital were billy caldwell has been treated after the home secretary sir george reid gave licence for the boy to be treated with cannabis oil for ablative. he is there with his mother charlotte. the supply that has been brought into this country was confiscated at heathrow airport last week, as charlotte caldwell was trying to bring the cannabis oil back from canada to treat her boy. she will speak now so let's hear what she is going to say. am i ok here? this morning i received late notes from the office of the northern ireland secretary karen bradley —— leaked notes. sadly it is apparent that i have been misled from the moment my little boy's anti—epileptic medication was confiscated. at london heathrow airport exactly one week ago today. these notes revealed that responsibility for the decision on the import of unlicensed medicines is

it could be some kind of national insurance or property tax. by shadow health secretary jonathan ashworth. presumably that is one of the questions you have, or do you welcome this news? we agree that the nhs needs more money but how the brain minister intends to fund this has completely unravelled. today she is admitting tax rises. the fundamental issue is that she is simply not getting the nhs the funding it needs. the fact that today she conceded that the legal obligations in the nhs constitution that you will be seeing —— scene within 18 weeks or four hours in a eddie hoare 60 days is that you have cancer, those legal standards will not be met. —— you will be seen in 60 days if you have cancer. howwood labour funds the increase? 60 days if you have cancer. howwood labourfunds the increase? you 60 days if you have cancer. howwood labour funds the increase? you say he would give it more than 20 billion a year extra? these are the plans that we would inherit should we form the next government, but we would go further till. we would increase tax

host: national flood insurance and housing by hud? there is a national flood insurance program and it is deeply flawed and has been one of the biggest, one of the biggest sources of problems that disaster response experts talk to me about. yes, you can get government butrance, flood insurance, it costs the government so much money because they will ensure any property -- insure any property, even one likely to flight, so as stronger storms build, we pay more and more for that insurance. there has been attempts to reform the flood insurance program to make it more incentivize and to to get people to live in more fortified homes, especially on the coast. that has not happened yet. in terms of hud and trailers, fema trailers, nobody wants evacuated people to stay in hotels all the time but sometimes you cannot predict where a storm of it and to have those trailers up before a big storm happens. in terms of hud, the trump administration said last year that they intended in the wake of the storms to bring back a and and make sure -- rule t

he even suggested ideas for a national health insurance system. doesn't every president [laughter] >> they went about as well in his time as they have later years. eisenhower invested significantly in infrastructure of course. he made -- found a way to make government work without making it too big and too costly. the interstate highway system is preeminent example. building its 40,000 miles of roads of course cost billions. but most of the money came from user fees in the form of a gas tax and other licensing fees, used to replenish a highway trust fund. so the burden on the treasury relatively minor. his attitude towards taxes tells us much about the man and indeed about the g.o.p. of the 50s. in 1954, he faced significant demands and pressures for tax cut from congress. eisenhower went on national radio and he said -- he made a very elementary argument which one doesn't hear very much anymore.
