It’s hard to believe but the United States reached a major milestone in 2016 when our senior population for the first time eclipsed 50 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. To give you some idea of how massive that number is, consider it is more than the population of half of the 50 states — combined!

What compounds this impending challenge for families and healthcare providers alike is that so much confusion exists around the industry. Seniors have the unenviable task of navigating the Medicare system for the first time as many are dealing with retirement planning. The ever-changing nature of insurance companies, premium plans and coverage eligibility is difficult to discern. Uncertainty persists around the status and future of the remaining parts of the Affordable Care Act. And, there seems to be an unbalanced focus on preventive care, targeting millennials and ignoring seniors.

Projecting ahead, longer life expectancy and the rapid retirement of the Baby Boomers means that senior population is expected to balloon above 80 million by the middle of the century. Already, politicians wrangle over the solvency of Medicare, but the senior surge will mean more Medicare beneficiaries, but fewer people than before paying into the system.
