Abstract
Each year approximately three million baby boomers turn 40. This is a time of introspection and re-evaluation of who the baby boomer is. This is the time of mid-life crisis and the American Dream. Most baby boomers went to college, got a successful job, married, had 2.5 children, and bought a house in the suburbs. Now they look at life and ask, "Is this all there is to life?" Many of these baby boomers are divorced, have quit their jobs, given up their home in the suburbs and find themselves in a mid-life crisis. It is the American Dream and the mid-life crisis that this paper will focus on. What is the mid-life crisis? Why has the American Dream failed for many? Why are the baby boomers finding themselves feeling unfulfilled in life? What does research show about mid-life crisis? Can mid-life crisis be considered an actual diagnosis for people suffering from mental anguish? What steps can the middle-age individual take to prevent the mid-crisis? How does this affect my worldview about those experiencing mid-life crisis? How does it relate to current news items on television? What are the ramifications of this research show in regards to mid-life crisis? As a counselor how will this research affect the way I might treat someone going through the mid-life crisis? How does this affect my viewpoint of my family, and perhaps my viewpoints of my family? Can I recognize how family members have suffered mid-life crisis and the effects of this in their life?

Abstract
This paper explains that the Baby Boomer generation creates a medical problem, especially in the Medicare system, because of its size, potential of living so long, altered traditional family structures and a large segment, almost 20 percent, at the low end of the income scale; in addition, the generation after them is small. The author points out that seniors have no alternative but Medicare, which should be restructured to more closely resemble the rest of the nation's health care system especially PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations). The paper recommends that, if institutions focused on decreasing the cost of each medical procedure and ceasing to carry out senseless, wasteful procedures; funds would be available for senior care plus wellness education and preventive care.

From the Paper
"There are several diametrically opposed factors involved in the future of health care for Baby Boomers, not least of which is the fact that the senior-oriented health care delivery systems were "geared for a time when people died early." In addition, Baby Boomers constituted the largest generation ever, to be subsidized-as have all generations been-by the ones behind them; the ones behind them are very small. They are expected to live longer than previous generations, partially because of the advances in medicine; however, there are already signs that the problem with the advances in medicine lies in the ability to find enough qualified people to run the machinery of medicine, the CAT scanners and whatever other advances appear. These two dichotomies would be problematical enough without the other troublesome possibility on the horizon, that of having to decided upon a practical and ethical way to deliver health care when there are not enough personnel to go around, nor enough funds to pay for equal treatment options for everyone."

Abstract
The paper seeks to achieve a comprehensive understanding of baby boomers, with their possible effects on the health care system. The writer claims that this understanding can assist with the planning of future directions for care of the baby boomers as well as the rest of the American population. The paper provides a summary of historical information and does not yield empirical findings.
From the Paper
"State and federal funding currently account for 50% of health care costs. Some believe that Congress will provide health care for the entire population by 2004. Baby boomers want more than this essential care and search for alternatives that would provide optimal care (Binzberg & Minogiannis, 2000). The dissatisfactions and expectations of the baby boomers have been reflected by the changes in the healthcare system thus far. They are the largest buying population and are demanding more information and options. How this quality of health care will be provided, remains the current and future challenge."

As a result, many have expressed concern about how Social Security can be funded over the long-term, and several different proposals have been made by politicians and economists alike."

Abstract
This paper examines the impact that older workers are having upon the American economy. In particular, this paper focuses upon items such as aggregate demand, price floors (and price ceilings), government failure and market equilibrium because the arrival of the baby boomers into their chronological if not working dotage has greatly affected all of those things.
From the Paper
"As America's workforce grows older, the issue of caring for and hiring workers over the age of 45 has grown increasingly pertinent. The following paper will examine this phenomenon with an eye towards examining the impact upon businesses that employ individuals 45 years of age or older. In a related vein, the paper will take a close look at policy recommendations that may assist older workers in the American workforce. Along the way, a number of macro-economic terms - aggregate supply, market failure and equilibrium price - will be explicated inasmuch as understanding them allows us to understand the broader issue of middle-aged employees entering the workforce in record numbers."

Abstract
This paper explains that the aging baby boom generation, who are characterized by prevention and wellness values resulting in longer life expectancy, will have a significant effect on the number of elderly needing long-term healthcare services. The author stresses that the Medicare system does not provide protection against catastrophic or long-term events, many drugs and prevention services, all of which will be needed by the aging baby boom generation. The paper concludes that, along with the concern for this cohort, there is the continued need for the entire population--the rich and the poor, the young and the old--to have healthcare coverage; the social system may offer the most adequate solution.

From the Paper
"Baby boomers have redefined quality of care, demanding preventative measures for optimal health. This generation demands more service, more information, and more options. Since they are the largest buying population, they have changed the healthcare system and will continue to do so. Among the changes needed is improvement in long-term-care coverage. Private insurance for this coverage has increased but presents problems such as how to market a high-cost policy to those with little money. Public-private partnerships are another alternative. However, this type of assistance may end up raising Medicare costs without offering enough assistance to the public. Social insurance is also discussed. In this case the costs would be disbursed among the total population, including those 65 years and older."

Abstract
This paper examines how the baby boom generation, born between 1946 and 1964, is reported to be the largest generation in U.S. history. It looks at how this group is very diversified and characterized by their disease prevention and wellness values and how, as the group becomes older there are concerns for the future of healthcare. It analyzes how as the boomers become aged 85 and older, there will be a dramatic change in the numbers of elderly and needs for long-term care services. It looks at how the baby boomers were followed by a group with an exceptionally low birth rate and how as a result healthcare for the pending group of elderly boomers will be supported by a smaller population.

"The year 2010 will bring the time when the first baby boomers begin to turn age 65; by then one in five Americans will be over 65 (Friedman, p. 36). In 1990, the oldest baby boomers were 44 years old, and concerns for old age were upon them. Butler (1990) reports that this generation will need to take matters into their own hands if they are to end the fragmented health care system that currently exists. New alternatives need to be sought that include a single-payer approach rather than various prices for identical procedures and services, clinical autonomy and opportunity, collaboration within health-care providers, and goals that meet the needs of all Americans (p. 13). New principles need to include the whole being with its connection to the environment, empowerment which enables internal and external healing resources to be utilized, and views of all involved (Meleis, 1992, p. 117)."

Abstract
This paper outlines the post-Word War II lifestyle of American families, the conditions that resulted in the Baby Boom, the trials and tribulations of the average baby boomer over the course of their adolescence, the hippie movement, and the impending Social Security issue.
From the Paper
"World War II and the Great Depression greatly impacted the average American's life. While battling for a world free from Nazism and struggling to make ends meet during the most significant economic recession in American history, libido met its match in the United States. During the high tension 1940s, cathedrals and cradles were left empty as marriage and birth rates plummeted. Man's sense of inadequacy in supporting his family during the Depression left him just as inadequate in the bedroom. His disappointment in society left him and his spouse reluctant to bring a child into a world overrun by Nazism and Communism. Fortunately, a burst of confidence came after the war, and in 1946 birth rates skyrocketed. In the eighteen years after World War II, more than 78 million children were born, creating a new generation that greatly impacted American society and culture - a group called the Baby Boomers."

Abstract
This paper argues that nursing in the 21st century will require a more direct focus on leadership and communication skills. As the baby-boomer generation begins to retire and enter their elderly years, nursing will be tasked with a growing number of patients that require specialized care. This fact, coupled with the evidence that there is already a nursing shortage throughout the world, will force modern nurses to contemplate leadership skills, as well as their ability to successfully communicate with patients and staff to ensure that quality care remains the profession's first priority.
