Baby boomers, changing demographics in the U.S. and Medicare, Social Security programs
01/01/2011
In 2 decades the number of people on Medicare is expected to grow from 47 million in 2010 to 80 million in 2030. At the same time the proportion of the voting age population that is over 65 will go up in that period to 26% in 2030 from 17% in 2010. Seniors who vote heavily Republican, and middle aged people who expect to join the senior group will resist any changes to Medicare and Social Security benefits.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
