Alzheimer’s Has Tripled

The average monthly cost of having someone in Memory Care at a nursing home is around $7000.  Thats $84,000 per year. How many Americans can afford that when we already know that 70% don’t have $1000 in savings and never will?  How do you suppose we are going to pay for millions of Americans who will all need a Elder Care in next 20 years? Can we borrow $100 trillion dollars from anyone?

It makes one wonder if losing our minds is one of the consequences to a nation that rejects Jesus and now even refuses to fear The Lord?

Early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease jumped 200% among commercially insured Americans between the ages of 30 and 64 over a recent five-year period, a new analysis of Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurer claims shows.

The report, the latest from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, shows 131,000 people between the ages of “30 and 64 were diagnosed with either form of dementia” in 2017. The average age of someone “with either condition is 49 and women are disproportionately impacted than men,” the report, which is the latest in the trade group’s “The Health of America” series, shows.

In 2017, there were 12.6 diagnoses per 10,000 adults of either early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease for commercially insured adults aged 30 to 64, the report said. That compares to 4.2 diagnoses per 10,000 adults of early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease combined for the same 30 to 64 age group in 2013.
