00:00As the population ages, some states are starting to make plans to help them.
00:05For example, New York State now has a master plan for the aging.
00:10Coordinator Bob Blancato said of the program,
00:13This is not a master plan for the aged. It's a master plan for the aging, which we all are.
00:20The plans are necessary. According to Market Watch, by 2030, there will be 73 million people over the age of
00:2765.
00:29These plans have a purpose.
00:31Market Watch also quotes Keri Graham of Center for Healthcare Strategies.
00:36A master plan can organize people around the need to make home and community-based services and long-term care
00:43more accessible to people.
00:45With so many people getting older, it's important to have a plan in place to make sure everyone gets the
00:51care and support they need.
