NASI celebrates its 25thanniversary amidst of a time of increased public attention to social insurance issues. Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance have captured the focus of media and have become topics of debate on all sides of the political spectrum. Concerns about disability insurance and workers’ compensation are rising to the surface. Policymakers’ preoccupation with deficit-cutting adds a sharp-edged dynamic to already impassioned debates over the future role of social insurance programs. During this politically charged time, NASI remains a place where various views and unparalleled expertise come together. We are dedicated to educating audiences in all arenas and correcting misinformation to ensure that accurate, fact-based research is what informs policymaking rather than myths and misconceptions.
