Description
In the year 2011, the U.S. will begin to experience the biggest age-driven demographic upheaval in its history, as the first Baby Boomers reach age 65. In 2010, the ratio of adults in prime working years, ages 25-64, to those 65 and over will be 4 to 1. By 2020, it will fall to 3 to 1. By 2030, it will drop to almost 2 to 1. The ratio of potential workers to potential retirees will be cut in half in only two decades. The U.S. is not alone. The end of World War II caused similar spikes in birth rates in much of the world. Western Europe's birth rate is already below population replacement levels. Japan is aging at an even faster rate. The social and public policy consequences of this " graying" of America are hard to overestimate. Social Security and Medicare will have to be cut back through some combination of reducing benefits and raising normal retirement ages; otherwise, the tax rates on the young are politically unthinkable. Above all, the health care system will have to change. Ch Download Health Care 2020 for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
