Long-term care issues have high prominence among state officials in Pennsylvania as a result of its large elderly population and concern about the impact of long-term care costs on the state's budget. Its population aged 65 and older is 15.6 per cent of its total population, ranking second only to Florida. By 2025, 21 per cent of its population will be 65 and older. Pennsylvania is federal and state Medicaid spending for long-term care in FY2001 was USD5.1 billion -- almost half of all Medicaid spending.
