Can the Health Care System Keep Up With the Aging Baby-Boomers?

It has begun. The first wave of Baby-Boomers have begun to retire. If you listen carefully, you can hear owners of golf courses cheering. It may be good times for the golf industry right now, but what about 25-35 years down the road. How fast and far can they expand in the Baby-Boomer rush and what will happen when this large cohort begins to die. There are simply not enough people to fill the void and this could trigger a crash to a significant portion of the golf industry.

Perhaps the only thing Baby-Boomers appreciate more than golf is their health. If we redirect our focus and look at the impact Baby-Boomers will have on the health care system, it begs us to ask similar questions. How fast can medical care expand and following the “rush”, can we prevent a collapse?

Since the mid-90’s in the US, medical facilities have experienced a nurse shortage. Naturally, as the population ages and the Baby-Boomers require more care there will be further stress on the health care system and this shortage is expected to increase. Unfortunately, there are no shortages of shortages in the health care system and the additional demand of the Baby-Boomers on the already fragile system could trigger a collapse in the not so distant future.

Perhaps the most apparent example of Baby-Boomer health care stress can be seen in today’s hip replacement procedures. The number of patients requiring this surgery far outnumbers the number of qualified surgeons able to perform the procedure. The system is so overwhelmed that many people are forced to go abroad for hip replacements as well as other procedures. But the reason for the increase stress on the system is two-fold. As mentioned before, the shear volume of Baby-Boomers is a definite factor but secondly, the Baby-Boomer cohort is very health conscious and they are happily continuing the trend of increased life span.

It will be interesting to see how the health care system adapts to accommodate the Baby-Boomers. Since their numbers are transient it is likely so too will be the government policies. However, it is evident that changes in the health care system happen very slowly, if at all. With the typical time frame for training a doctor hovering around 8 years, the only thing that changes slower than policy is the number of health care professionals in the system.

It is a good thing the retiring Baby-Boomers are more health conscious because they will have more active in their health care than their parents. With health care professionals struggling to keep up to the number of Baby-Boomers, methods of home health care will have to be embraced.

The golf and health care industry will likely see increased demand in the up coming years. However, the golf industry will likely better accommodate the increasing volume of Baby-Boomer patrons because its malleable infrastructure. It is wise for Baby-boomers to have begun to flock to the golf course. After all, shortly this could perhaps be the only way for a patient to see a doctor.

A Double Stroller Travel System Offers Comfort and Style

When a parent has a second child that is relatively close in age to the first, they have some important decisions to make about how they plan to get around in public places. Chances are, the older child will quickly tire of walking around, and will want a place to sit down. This poses the question of how to accommodate both children safely and easily, and the obvious solution is to consider buying a double stroller travel system. Fortunately for parents, these easy to use systems are getting better all the time, and now there are more choices than ever before.

First, the parent should consider what kind of activities they plan on taking the children to. A trip to the park or zoo is so much more enjoyable when a parent has the comfort and convenience of enough room for both children, and the generous storage that is offered beneath the double stroller travel system can easily store a diaper bag and sack lunches, along with any additional parcels quite comfortably. For the more active parent, there are models that are suitable to take along for a jog, and the children can enjoy the ride in comfort and style.

If you have ever been to a theme or amusement park, then surely you have seen how difficult it can be to try and decide which child gets to ride and which one has to walk, as well as to try to hold on to all the necessary bags and other items. By using a well-designed double stroller travel system, this is made almost effortless, and it frees up the hands of the parents for more important things. These systems offer the latest and best in safety features, which all parents can appreciate. The simplistic yet attractive design provides significant value, and many of them are quite affordable.

Many of these attractive newer models can be collapsed with one hand, which makes loading and unloading in and out of the car much easier to do. Some of the more expensive models come equipped with car seats that can be detached from the stroller. This is especially helpful if the child is sleeping so you can secure them in the care without disturbing them.

Others usually include convenient cup holders, as well as a small compartment near the handle for storing your keys, cell phone, or other small items that people prefer to keep close by. After you decide which style and model of double stroller travel system to purchase for your family, take it out for a spin and enjoy all the freedom and convenience that it has to offer!

Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone

Graco Quattro Tour Sport Travel System in Boone I purchased this travel system for our second child, I had an older graco model with our 4 year old that I was very pleased with as well. I am very very very pleased with my purchase! The actual color of the stroller is grays, and burnt orange, which is hard to tell from the pictures online. The stroller is very solid, and not flimsy like other strollers sometimes are. I LOVE the bassinet feature! When the seat is fully reclined, you can hook the feet part of the padding up, and it fully encloses the stroller for your newborn so they won’t slide down. There is also a window on the umbrella part of the stroller that can be zipped and closed with matching fabric from the stroller, or it can be rolled and velcroed so you can see thru the window. The car seat is great as well. Both the car seat and stroller have great padding! The fabric on the car seat is almost mesh like, but is very soft. Overall I am VERY happy with this travel system and would recommend it highly!
