title: Cost of health care: impact on poor elders in America.
abstract: Despite the enormity of the challenges encountered in providing health care, Tennessee ranks near the top nationally for receiving federal and state money spent on caring for elderly and disabled persons in their own homes according to the Tennessee Health Care Association. Citizens and health care professionals are in a unique position to share the advantages of keeping the persons in their homes for as long as possible from both a personal and fiscal standpoint.
