Boomers are feeling the pinch along with the rest of the population. Consumer loan defaults are approaching levels not seen since the 1991 recession. And mortgage defaults are surging. Hopes of retirement with a nice little nest egg are fading along with the economy. That leaves health care…

The number of people being admitted to hospitals is expected to skyrocket from 8.2 million in 2004 to 22.9 million by 2030. Boomers begin reaching the ripe old age of 65 in 2011. And hospitals of all stripes - general, community, specialty, acute care, ambulatory surgery, etc. - can’t gear up fast enough.
