| Annotation | In the US, people aged 65+ comprised 13% of the population in 2005, which is set to rise to 22% by 2045. As the older population grows, so too will the number of older people who are poor, homeless or uninsured. The implications of the so-called "greying" of America for the health care system, particularly the long-term care industry, are staggering. The author presents his arguments with regard to "intergenerational inequity" in the US. (RH). |
