TAILIEUCHUNG - Health Insurance Coverage of the Near Elderly, 1994−2005

While there appears to be a rising incidence of problem drinking in the elderly, there are also reports that low risk drinking may provide benefits to older populations. Indeed. arguably most of the supposed benefits of alcohol consumption are to be found in older people. So, for example, the claimed protective effect of alcohol in regard to cardiovascular disease applies to the late middle aged and elderly.

That year percent of adults ages 55-64 were uninsured compared with percent of adults 21-24 percent of those ages 25-34 and 25 percent of younger adults. Near elderly uninsured likely to grow in the future However future retired adults ages 55-64 may experience an increase in the likelihood of being uninsured if employer cutbacks to retiree health benefits affect them and they have no other means of obtaining health insurance. Also the size of the uninsured population ages 55-64 will also grow as the baby boom generation ages. Benefits erosion Medicare costs a growing concern The erosion of retiree health insurance may ultimately change retirement patterns as employees nearing retirement age postpone their decision to retire upon learning that without a job they may not be able to obtain health insurance coverage or afford health care services that are not covered by insurance. The health insurance status of the population nearly eligible for Medicare also has implications for Medicare since a growing uninsured population entering the program will result in higher costs.
