Ensuring Care for Aging Baby Boomers
This is about the Baby Boomer generation. Those are people born, between 1946 to 1964, and what they are facing as they are aging. I have chosen to write about two subjects. Such as Medical care costs and not having enough Home Health Care workers to take care of them. Can we afford not to have trained workers or to pay the money to get the help they need? In several articles I have read the article named “The Boomer Challenge” by Paul Barr that there are 75 Million Americans who make up the baby boomer generation.

This information should be started when you are 40 or 50, to get a better grasp on what you need. Since they might not cover you if you have too many health conditions and or the rates may go up with your age and sickness. So the sooner you get insurance you can get better coverage you can have. I believe that a lot of people or government are looking into making sure that the Elderly are going to be taken care
