• Week 2 assignment
• The Aging ConnectionThe number of older
  Americans has increased dramatically because
  older adults are living longer partly due to the
  improvements in health care technology. However,
  the question of quality of life has been raised
  as people live longer and experience more health
  problems in the midst of rising health care costs
  and, as the textbook authors note, individuals
  past health histories also directly affect their
  use of health care and will continue to do so
  (Markson Stein, 2012).

• DQ2As Chapter 11 in your textbook notes, the
  costs for health care have risen dramatically and
  are expected to continue to rise. While Medicare
  is a public insurance program that provides
  coverage to almost everyone who is 65 and older,
  it only covers a portion of health care expenses.
  In fact, the authors of your textbook note that
  if current trends continue, by 2030 half of
  those aged 65 and older will spend more than 25
  of their income on medical bills and insurance
  premiums (Markson Stein, 2012).
