	abstract = {The loss of health insurance may be an important component of the cost of retirement, especially for workers without retiree health insurance coverage.  The authors find that insurance costs significantly reduce retirement rates for full-time wage and salary workers ages 51 to 61. Simulations suggest that a  1,000 increase in the net present value of health insurance premium costs reduces the probability of early retirement by 1.17 percentage points for men and by 0.24 percentage points for women, corresponding to elasticities of -0.22 and -0.24, respectively. The authors{\textquoteright} models predict that expanding the Medicare program to cover those aged 62-64 would increase retirement rates for workers with employer-sponsored coverage who lack retiree benefits, if the government subsidizes their coverage.  However, the impact would be small, increasing overall retirement rates by only 7 .},

	abstract = {The Division of Policy Evaluation (DPE) of the Social Security Administration (SSA) has entered into two contracts with the Urban Institute to help it develop a new tool for analyzing the distributional consequences of Social Security reform proposals.  The first, awarded in 1998, led to the development of Modeling Income in the Near Term (MINT), a tool for simulating the retirement incomes of members of the Baby Boom and neighboring cohorts.  The second, awarded in 2000, was to expand and improve on the first version of MINT.  In all phases of the project, members of the research staff at SSA/DPE collaborated closely with the contractors.  The Brookings Institution served as a subcontractor to the Urban Institute under both contracts and the RAND Corporation participated in the development of the initial version of MINT under a separate contract.  This report describes the work of the researchers at Urban and Brookings under the second contract.},
