    The aging enterprise, driven by a new business ideology, commodifies elder care. This approach, particularly within the medical-industrial complex, raises concerns about access to services for all, advocating for intergenerational strategies over age-based separatism.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology of Aging
    • Health Policy Analysis
    • Public Administration

    Background:

    • The aging enterprise, shaped by public policy, treats the needs of the elderly as a commodity.
    • The medical-industrial complex significantly benefits from the shift towards market-based healthcare values.
    • A new business ideology in healthcare prioritizes cost control and positions health services as a market good.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the impact of the new competitive business ideology on the aging enterprise.
    • To examine the consequences of market-driven healthcare on service access for Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured populations.
    • To challenge age-segregated policies and advocate for intergenerational political strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of the aging enterprise within the context of evolving business ideologies.

  • Examination of research data from the private nonprofit health and social services sector across 8 states and 32 communities.
  • Critique of age-based policy-making and advocacy for cross-barrier political efforts.

    • Main Results:

    • The current system leads to fragmentation, privatization, and corporatization of health and social services.
    • Market ideology in healthcare creates significant access issues for vulnerable populations.
    • Age-segregated policies are identified as a barrier to effective, inclusive strategies for the elderly.

    Conclusions:

    • The commodification of elder care within the aging enterprise necessitates a reevaluation of public policy.
    • Intergenerational and coalition-based political strategies are crucial to address the needs of an aging population effectively.
    • A move away from single-interest, age-based policies is vital for a more equitable and cohesive society.
