A focus on persons aged 85 and over is a timely measure for better understanding the implications of population aging. Yet, it may generate inaccurate stereotypes that reinforce anxieties about conflicts between age groups in the allocation of health and social welfare resources. Alternative constructs enable consideration of a variety of options that differ from unnecessary extrapolations from existing public policies. These range from market initiatives, through state and local government actions, to federal intervention for meeting the challenges of becoming "an aging society."
关注85岁及以上的人群是更好理解人口老龄化影响的一项及时举措。然而，这可能会产生不准确的刻板印象，强化在卫生和社会福利资源分配方面对不同年龄群体之间冲突的焦虑。替代性构想有助于考虑一系列与现有公共政策不必要的推断不同的选项。这些选项涵盖从市场倡议，到州和地方政府行动，再到联邦政府为应对成为“老龄化社会”的挑战而进行的干预。
