Hindrance on the Economy

What is attached to any and every medical phenomenon or problem? MONEY! It takes money to research, it takes money to treat, and it takes money to care for those suffering. Currently it is "costing the U.S. about $200 billion a year to care for people afflicted with Alzheimer’s." (Wurtzel, 2013) If the number of patients is supposed to increase more and more over the years then it is almost guarenteed that this $200 billion dollars will sky-rocket in coming decades. This number does not by any means take into the account the 17 billion dollars of unpaid care provided by family and friends! In the year 2011 Obama signed the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA) into law. This will establish a crucial plan to address the crisis and increase in Alzheimer's occurences. It will coordinate a response and economical plan on the fronts for research, care, and support services. 
This does not take into account the personal sacrafices of money and time it takes to care for anyone with alzheimer's in any stage.

  1. you have a lot of excellent info here. also i think there is an argument emerging surrounding the economics of Alzheimer's. You have evidence about the potential national cost, and also costs to individuals, as well as costs to research. Maybe you can make a recommendation on where funds should come from and how best to appropriate them? Whether or not that's the direction you want to go,. start to think about who your audience will be when you make your argument, and what you want them to do/change/think/realize/etc.
