can somebody translate this into English?
i want to know how much it costs on average to be 70 years old or older...

"After the first year of life, health care costs are lowest for children, rise slowly throughout adult life, and increase exponentially after age 50 (Meerding et al. 1998). Bradford and Max (1996) determined that annual costs for the elderly are approximately four to five times those of people in their early teens. Personal health expenditure also rises sharply with age within the Medicare population. The oldest group (85+) consumes three times as much health care per person as those 65–74, and twice as much as those 75–84 (Fuchs 1998). Nursing home and short-stay hospital use also increases with age, especially for older adults (Liang et al. 1996)."
oops, let me see, the oldest, most unproductive people who are mostly ignored regardless of the wisdom that they've gathered over their years, because they can't seem to be able to recall it because of dementia, cost the most to keep alive. must be for some kinda sentimental reason of their progeny, or could it simply be because they're the best suckers left?
