Johnson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS More “golden years” do not cost the health care system more: Whether people are healthy at age 70 and live inde pendently for many more years or are sickly and die sooner, their medical costs are about the same, federal researchers say. The findings have big impli cations for taxpayers, because they suggest that the outlook for the Medicare program as America’s baby boomers grow old is not as dire as some policy makers feared. Given projections saying the baby boom generation will bankrupt the Medicare trust fund in about 25 years, politi cians and economists have won dered whether the increasing longevity of healthier senior cit izens would increase or reduce Medicare spending. The answer is neither, say researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics. They found medical expenses from age 70 until death averaged $140,700, with little difference between active, long-lived sen ior citizens and disabled ones — except for those already in a nursing home. “The basic lesson of our study is that although healthy people live longer, they don’t cost more in the long run,” said Jim Lubitz, acting chief of the Aging Studies Branch in the statistics center’s Office of Analysis.
