title: Costs of individuals with disabilities and the elderly in Pennsylvania.
abstract: In 2000, an estimated 4,420 children (33 per 1,000 births) were born with a disability in Pennsylvania. In addition, more than 1.8 million Medicare enrollees (age 65 and older) were residents of the state. Selected estimated costs were developed for these two populations at state and county levels.
