More and more Americans are living long enough to experience the
chronic ills of old age. The fastest growing segment of our
elderly, those aged 85 and over, will triple in number from 33
million today to more than 10 million by the year 2030. Our current
health care system was never designed to care for a such a
populationone in which the average lifespan is now 76 and rapidly
increasing. Even Medicare is based on an acute-care model most
appropriate for younger people. In Healthy Aging: Challenges and
Solutions, the nation's leading experts, researchers, analysts, and
educators present their frustrations, findings, insights, and
recommendations on what current research reveals about the promise
of healthy aging, how we are unprepared for the long-term chronic
needs of an aging population, and why we need to rethink how the
nation spends health care dollars. Edited by Dr. Ken Dychtwald, one
of the nation's foremost visionaries and leading authorities on the
aging of America, this anthology will open your eyes to our
nation's lack of readiness to meet the staggering health care needs
of an aging society, and what must be done to head off the
fast-approaching health care logjam.
