Now this population is going into old age and thus bringing a burden to nation as country has to take care of not only food and shelter but also medical care. Rather medical care is in a way more important as they are prone to many diseases not only infectious because of their lowered immunity but also non –communicable ones such as Diabetes Mellitus, Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, etc. not to speak of those other mental disorders such as Depression, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.Current problem There is more than 35million population in USA that is more than 65 years as per latest Census Bureau report.

At present, it is said, that disabled and elderly account for only around 20% of Medicaid spending but they account for more than 75% of Medicaid spending on prescription medicines. There is yet another set of problems. There is a progressive decline in renal function of elderly. The enzymes needed to metabolize drug are less and have they have sensitivity towards certain drugs. They also have lesser free fluid volume. These and many other factors make elderly especially susceptible for drug toxicity. Also adverse drug reactions are much more common in aged population than others.

These are: 1.Medicaid When president Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid act in 1965 it marked a new era for health care in USA.
