We are thinking ahead to long-term care, aware that many folks don't plan ahead and won't be ready. We want to see to it that people will have choices.

People use so much more health care when they live longer.

It's good to give seniors more choices and more options, let them choose a plan that's best for them and target assistance to the lowest income people.

In an ageing society, it makes sense to support older adults to develop new skills, prolonging their working lives.

One line I'd draw would be on raising the eligibility age for Social Security and Medicare. It sounds fair, since people are living longer. But it isn't. Lower income workers are the ones who find it hardest to keep working after 65. And they'll get penalized with lower benefits.

Retirees who are on Medicare will suffer the consequences of 700 billions of Medicare dollars instead being used to cover the skyrocketing cost of Obamacare. In essence, less dollars for seniors means less service. Not fair. The Boomers are going to take the 'hit.' In Obamacare, 'too old' has limitations of service.

It makes good sense for planners everywhere to provide more facilities in general that are aimed at older folks.

We know we are entering a period of transformation in aged care.

The aging of the U.S. population is a theme that we believe strongly in and the health care sector is really right in the bulls eye of this particular theme.

We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.
