Long Term Healthcare Systems

In 2011, the first Baby Boomers reached what used to be considered “retirement age.” The youngest of the Boomers are in their 50s, but the oldest Boomers are retiring in droves, creating a concerning growth in the elderly population and as a result, an increased demand on the health care system. For this assignment, complete the following: Research government entitlement programs for the elderly population. Write an informative research paper discussing these government entitlement programs at the federal, state, and local levels. Your paper must be in proper APA format. Your paper should be 3–5 pages, excluding the cover page, abstract page, and reference page.  Support your work with at least 4 academic or professional peer-reviewed sources that were published within the past 5 years.
