To analyze this important issue, we must address these questions:
• Can we afford so many old people?
• How much more costly are the old than the young?
• Are old people healthier than they used to be?
• In what ways does health-related quality of life decline with age?
• What about the quality of life of caregivers?
• Are there other associated burdens besides health care?
• How are these tensions to be resolved?
• What about intergenerational equity?
