title: [Aging and health care costs:  is there a problem?].
abstract: "This paper discusses various projections of health-care expenditures in terms of foreseeable pressures on the health-care system due to the aging of the Canadian population.  The conclusion is that the impact of aging on health-care costs will not necessarily be a major problem.  Projected cost increases have to be related to the evolution of the nation's productive capacity.  The article also examines some implications in terms of health-care planning."
