“A significant number of older U.S. citizens need medical care today, and their numbers are growing rapidly.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration on Aging, the 65-and-over population will increase to 55 million in 2020 (up 36 percent for the decade). By 2030, that will grow to about 72 million, almost twice the 2007 number. By 2030 those among us who are age 65-plus will represent more than 19 percent of the population.”
