A new study says one in eight baby boomers are expected to develop Alzheimer's disease and there may be 100,000 Oklahomans with the disease by 2030.

While this sounds like a huge number, they mentioned already 70,000 people have Alzheimers now. The baby boomer population would easily make the numbers rise in the next 22 years. It sounds as if they are using this for the shock value to push their bills through. However, if it means special attention will be given to this disease...it is only a positive.
