MEDICARE OUTLOOK WORSENS; TO TAP INTO TRUST FUND THIS YEAR

Trustees of Hospital Insurance Trust Fund say they have 'serious doubt' about sustainability of the government's health care funds. Fund will start spending more than it takes in this year and is now projected to tap into its interest income in 2004 and its assets in 2010, compared with last year's projections of 2013 and 2018, respectively. Fund forecast to go broke in 2019, seven years earlier than previous estimates.
