title: A national contributory elder care exchange program.
abstract: The state of the United States health care provision system is discussed; special attention is given to issues of eldercare. A new contributory health care concept is described which would reduce need for health care, and would supply labor to care for the fast-growing elderly population for the present and the future. The role of industry in provision of health care today and in this plan are discussed. Potential obstacles are suggested. Further research and areas of exploration are discussed for development of this concept.
