So on my train to and from work I keep saying posters that say "Alzheimers the disease that could bankrupt a nation."

What? How is this possible? Can someone explain this claim?

Serious and nonserious answer welcome

To the point of bankrupting a nation? Maybe if it was something you could catch
Seems like a pretty bold claim.

As the baby boomers develop the disease, where will they live and who will take care of them?

My guess anyway.

sadly in america they would just get dumped into homes and forgotten about.

We are incredibly cruel to our elders.

Things could change....

Even if they were just dumped into elder care homes, who would pay for the homes? :/

Cost of care and upkeep for people with the disease. Labor spent on taking care of people with the disease and not in other industries.
