I don't know that I can address the issue of dementia, but there are many experts here on dementia.
Certainly in terms of care for the elderly in general, one of the major issues of our time, and perhaps it's coming into its time now, is that we have to shift from a medicare system designed 40 or 50 years ago to deal with acute illnesses and hospital-based care, when the average age to which people lived was in the sixties, to one now where people born today are, on average, going to live to be 85. Many of the acute diseases are being well taken care of, but we are making out of acute diseases chronic conditions, and those demand care of a different sort. That care is now moving out of hospitals and into communities. One role the federal government could have and should have would be to embrace this and to give funding and to encourage ideas that actually move the model towards one of more in the way of community-based and home-based care.
I don't think that's a surprise to anybody around the table.
