So what

The 80-84 cohort is growing about 6% a year to 2030 and the 85+ group about 4%, while the under-24 population shrinks. These segments cost $1,450-1,750 per member per month, roughly double the 65-69 group. Payers and providers face rising acuity with a constrained workforce, making productivity gains from AI and care redesign essential rather than optional.
