Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Does American society simply not care about old people? That’s the argument put forth by elder advocates who cite indifference toward COVID-19 deaths and poor nursing home care to make their point. But if we take a step back, maybe it’s actually children who are getting short shrift.
So, are baby boomers starting to sow what they reaped with their glorification of youth culture? Or is society really not to blame after all?
TOPICS
(1:00) Covid’s impact on seniors
(2:57) Do we have a healthcare system designed to protect the most medically vulnerable?
(5:08) Why is the older generation being looked down upon?
(8:40) Do healthcare spending metrics need an ROI analysis?
(13:41) Are the Baby Boomer’s to blame for youth idolization?
