title: Alzheimer's disease: our biggest long-term health challenge.
abstract: As we grapple with reforming health care in America, the discussion often seems to gravitate to short-term issues while ignoring growing long-term threats. There is a health care tsunami approaching. It is Alzheimer's Disease. How we deal with this crisis will tell us a lot about how we are doing on health policies and actions for the long term--and about how we are doing as a society.
