The Congressional Budget Office says Social Security is paying out more in benefits this year than it’s taking in. Officials say they didn’t expect this to happen for several years. We talk with business and health journalists about why Social Security is in the red, and what we can do about it.

Guests:

Mary Williams Walsh, business writer for The New York Times

Susan Dentzer, editor in chief of Health Affairs, a national journal of health policy issues, and health analyst for The PBS NewsHour
