The Alzheimer Tsunami

We broke format a bit this afternoon to bring you, first, this critical story about aging, Alzheimer Disease, families and public policy. With us is Cindy Hadish a journalist who along with HuffPost and Lyle Muller of Iowa Watch did and distributed this disturbing story about the rise of the disease nationally and in particular here in Iowa. We talk about the stress on care-givers, the fear of losing funding, poor Medicaid reimbursement and more. To access the entire article by Cindy go here. Our thanks to Iowa Watch for allowing us this exclusive interview. It truly does have a business impact.
