Abstract
The growth rate of Medicare enrollees significantly exceeds the growth rate of the general population. Moreover, the group of enrollees aged 85 years or over is growing proportionately faster than all other groups of the aged. These phenomena and other interesting trends of the Medicare population are explored in this article.
