Better care needed for increasing disabled population?

As the baby boomer population gets older in the next 10 years (and beyond), the amount of that population will increase the nation's disabled population, according to a new study.Does the U.S. need a better system to keep good care coming their way? According to this newer study, a new system will indeed be needed. More than 40 million Americans currently have some sort of disability -- and that figure will rise rapidly (it is expected).
So, not only do we have reductions in physical activity and increases in obesity (and diabetes) in younger generations, but aging generations may balloon the disability population. U.S. health care may be in for greater levels of shock soon, yes?
