Ten percent of the Texas population is 65 and older. The state has a large, rapidly growing elderly population, estimated to reach 4.4 million, or 16.1 per cent of the state's total population in 2025. Medicaid spending for long-term care in FY2001 was USD3.3 billion -- 28.5 per cent of all Medicaid spending. Medicaid spending for institutions was more than 70 per cent of Medicaid long-term care spending and more than 20 per cent of all Medicaid spending in F Y2001.
