Summary:"Aging in America provides a lively, nuanced, and timely portrait of aging in the United States, showcasing the diversity of the older adult population. The US population is older than ever before, raising new challenges for families, caregivers, the health care system, and social programs like Social Security and Medicare. Drawing on state-of-the-art data, current events, and pop culture, the book challenges outdated myths about aging, and vividly shows how future cohorts of older adults will differ from the generations before them"--
