10. What Policy Assumptions Underlie the Baseline and
the Alternative Fiscal Scenario?
Baseline Projections: Current law
Alternative Fiscal Scenario:
– All expiring tax provisions (other than the payroll tax reduction) are extended.
– The alternative minimum tax (AMT) is indexed for in ation after 2011.
– Medicare’s payment rates for physicians’ services are held constant at current level.
– The automatic spending reductions required by the Budget Control Act do not
take e ect (although the original caps on discretionary appropriations remain in
place).
