Access, Cost, and Quality of the Massachusetts State Health Program: A Model for the Nation?

Aging policy in the U.S. has gone through many transitions. When the New Deal architects were planning to bring an end to the widespread poverty the aged were living in, this demographic represented less than 5% of the population. Enacting Social Security legislation was widely supported by the public at the time and this has not changed significantly during the past 80 years. However, the ability of the public to fund entitlements that benefit the aged has decreased substantially as this demographic tripled in size. This essay examines aging policy trends over the past 100 years and the values that have had a significant impact.

The concept of globalization is not new because companies and societies have been relocating and investing in foreign enterprises for more than a hundred years. But with the advent over the past twenty years of digital technologies (Internet, cell phones, the instant flow of capital – example, millions of dollars can be sent electronically from a bank in Asia to a bank in Montreal – and free or very cheap telephone service) the world is more interdependent than ever before in history.
