The convergence of four key factors drives how Boomers will impact U.S. health care:
1. There are significantly more of them and, as they age, they will

2. The prevalence of chronic diseases is increasing among Boomers.
3. They have different needs and expectations than past generations.
4. More medical services and technologies are available to them
than ever before.
