The article doesn't say that FFS is the driving factor--that is your belief. It cites what we have long been expecting to increase utilization at this point--aging baby boomers.
Post a Comment »Baby boomers are NOT going to age gracefully. They are going to see ill health as an anomaly and not a normal part of the aging process and are going to take their narcissistic entitlement mentality into their senior years to the institutions serving the elderly wrecking havoc with their self-centered expectations just as they did with universities, the tort sytem, employment law, sexual morality, and family stability.
