The Facts.The nation is aging.
» In 2030, nearly 1 in 5 US residents will be 65 or older
The US health care system is not equipped to deal with a rapidly growing population of older adults with multiple health conditions.
» 20% of Medicare beneficiaries with 5+ chronic conditions account for more than 2/3 of Medicare spending
Current system failure takes heaviest toll on those most vulnerable – race, ethnicity, gender, language and socioeconomic status.
