KIRKLAND, WA – Oct. 7 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As 77 million baby boomers approach retirement and most Americans enjoy longer life spans, a time bomb ticks.

State-run Medicaid does contribute to long-term care expenses — for the indigent. But Medicaid costs are ballooning to the breaking point.

So who’s going to protect longer-living Americans, so they can bounce back from down time without somebody going broke?
