Investopedia explains 'Hospital Insurance Trust Fund'

The main concern with this fund is that over time, the Nation's economy will not support this type of program. The actual trust fund is an account mechanism, since there is no transfer of money into or out of the fund. Income to the trust fund is credited in the form of interest-bearing government securities. Expenses for services and administrative costs are recorded against the fund. If the fund has a balance, the Treasury is allowed to make payments.
