Boomers, You Can Do Better Managing Your Health

There are three things that are inevitable about growing older, says Jim Firman, president and CEO of the National Council on Aging: "Death, taxes and chronic conditions."

By 2050, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the number of baby boomers – those born between 1946 and 1964 – who are 65 or older will reach 89 million. That's almost double the number of older adults that were living in the U.S. in 2010, according to the 2013 State of Aging Health in America report.
