If You are Young, We Want You.

Naomi Cahn forwarded to me (thanks Naomi)  a link to a recent article in the Washington Post by Reid Wilson, titled The Northeast is Getting Older, and it’s Going to Cost Them. According to the Census Bureau, something you may not realize, the majority of our oldest citizens live in the Northeast, and along with their aging comes an increased need for health care, transportation as well as housing. In this era of tight budgets, state leaders are trying to figure out how to pay for these services, and are coming to the decision: “the way to pay for the elderly is to cater to the young.”
