Alzheimer's disease is not only a chronic, debilitating and progressive disorder, but it is also one that is expected to escalate on account of the aging of the population. When one adds the fact that there currently is no cure for the disease, and that total care is required for people who are in the final stages, then one is left with perhaps one of the most significant health issues in our society.

Abstract
Medicaid, designed as health-resource for welfare recipients, has turned into a "cash-cow" for pharmaceutical corporations, state-organized hospital and care facilities, psychotherapists and other health care professionals and their affiliated corporations. The systematic abuse of Medicaid by professional health-based services has, in effect, worked to punish the very populations that Medicaid was designed to protect.
