The Role Of Baby Boomers In Health Care

327 Words2 Pages

Baby boomers are defined as “the era of Americans who were conceived somewhere around 1946 and 1964". This group has been large and significant percentage of the U.S population. Their aging will have dramatic implications for health care providers with regards to the costs implications of the resources that they will consume, the expectations that they will have in terms of services they receive, and how they expect to interact with health care system. The needs and wants of the baby boomer generation are extremely complex, and in order to create an effective marketing message, advertisers need to conduct comprehensive market research in order to gain their market share (Berkowitz, 2010).

Almost exactly nine months after World War II ended, “the cry of the baby was heard across the land,” and that’s exactly what everyone did. Over 76 million kids were born during this period, making it the fastest population growth ever. That generation also makes up over 40% of the US population, which at this time are still the largest generation. The baby boomers have had a major effect on the whole nation.

    Discussion 5- Advocacy According to recent data, the baby boom generation will have all retired by 2030, (AARP), which is only 15 years from now. The population in this generation will include 77 million more 65 and older individuals, not including the 54 million already in retirement and receiving Social Security and Medicare benefits. Please note that many seniors also receive some form of federal benefits such as military pensions, survivor’s benefits, annuities, investments income or an awarded settlement (Quad Agno, 14). Unfortunately, in our society driven many times by greed, this has placed our seniors in vulnerable positions, particularly when health and cognitive functions have declined; a slight disadvantage of becoming older (Quadagno,

  • Medicare: Improving Health Care

    395 Words  | 2 Pages

    Health care has gone through a great evolution through the years. Before 1965, individuals older than 65 years old received inadequate healthcare and more than half of this population did not have coverage (Reinhard, 2012). Due to this predicament, the need to identify issues and implement health policy was imperative to improve health care. Consequently, Medicare was introduced with the goal to mitigate the health issues during the 1960’s and to improve the healthcare availability for individuals 65 years and older. Since then, Medicare has gone through numerous changes in order to incorporate other population needs.

  • Pros And Cons Of Age-Based Health Care Rationing

    656 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are thousands of people in the world who oppose the idea of age based healthcare rationing. Some believe that if we ration healthcare based on age, that it would take away rights and justices from the elderly population (scu.edu). Like mentioned in the article by Claire Andrea and Manuel Velasquez, “Aged-Based Health Care Rationing”, when people refer to the justice part, they believe that everyone should be treated similarly unless there are rules or morals presented that require them to be treated differently. Yes, everyone should be treated equally, but healthcare rationing is not going to treat people differently, only the medical resources would be rationed. Andrea and Velasquez make a good point in the article, they say by rationing medical resources it would increase the economic productivity of the young, making it more beneficial for the whole world.

    1.   Today, there is a multigenerational workforce when it comes to nursing. I believe this improves patient care for many reasons. A nursing workforce is made up of staff and leaders from several different generational cohorts including the Veterans (1924-1945), the Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1964-1980), and Generation Y (1980-2000) (Huston, 2017, pg. 151).

    If I had to choose whom I would share my cubical with between Traditionalist/Veterans, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y. I would choose Baby Boomers. They are stable, built with optimisms and make decisions base on the process and practice what they preach. Today’s society is built solely on technology. I would rather share my goals and aspirations with someone who is well- established in their career and will most likely hold power and authority. Someone who has the same characteristic as I. Someone who will remain devoted, career focused, team player, competitive, strives for change, resourceful and motivated.

  • Generational Differences: Impact On Patient Care

    325 Words  | 2 Pages

    I do believe that generational differences can have an impact on patient care, but it does not necessarily mean that impact is bad. Our ATI book focuses on some of the standout characteristics of each generation such as the baby boomer tendencies toward accepting authority and being loyal workaholics versus the gen Xers who place a higher priority on work/life balance and are more likely to leave a job but adapt more easily to change (Sommer, 2013, p. 37). These attitudes can result in conflicts as younger generations may be viewed as self-centered and lazy whereas older generations may be viewed to blindly follow protocols that are no longer valid and supported by scientific data; working hard rather than working smart. I tend to think of

Public health achievements over the last century have greatly contributed to the rise in longevity.
