Over the next 30 years, the number of people aged 65 and older will do [#permalink]

We are given in Next 30 years People with age>=65 will be twice people with age <65.

Since costs of healthcare per enrolle is going to increase, government has to increase its share of funding to 2/3 of economy.

A. Federal spending on health care programs currently accounts for less than one-third of the government’s spending. We don't know. May be it is more than 1/3 but less than 2/3. Hence, incorrect.
B. Over a 30 year period, costs per enrollee in federal health care programs must grow faster than inflation. This is already given. Nothing new. Incorrect
C. Currently, people 35 years of age or older make up a larger proportion of the population than do people under 35 years of age. Yes, if we add 30 years, we will get what we are stating, Correct
D. Countries with a larger proportion of citizens over 65 often have crippling health care costs. : We don't know. This is too generic.
E. Countries with younger populations spend less than two-thirds of their budgets on federal health care programs. What is they spend = 2/3?? This is invalid.


Can you explain how to derive "in Next 30 years People with age>=65 will be twice people with age <65."

In stimulus, we only have Over the next 30 years, the number of people aged 65 and older will double --> the number of people aged 65 and older in the next 30 years will double the number of people aged 65 and older now OR the number of people aged 35 and older in now will double the number of people aged 65 and older now.

It would be "in Next 30 years People with age>=65 will be twice people with age >=65 now."

It was a typo from my side. Thanks for pointing it out. I have corrected the original post.

To answer your question: It is " the number of people aged 65 and older in the next 30 years will double the number of people aged 65 and older now ".

Re: Over the next 30 years, the number of people aged 65 and older will do [#permalink]
This also is one anognst the easiest Cr questions the key being having an eye on the context of all these questions
let's eleminate one by one
A - be very careful with percentages and ratios they are not real representatives of numbers hence 1/3rd or 2/3 rd is ambigious only if the real expenditure figures are provided it's useful
B - it's a maybe event as stated in the passage not a must might that a nuke was left or Thanos snapped then what
C- yes exactly if the 65 age people are going to double then 35 years are going to fill the the gap and of course lesser than 35 would be less
D and E - both of thse folow a similar flawed argument , we don't care a damn what other countires care a as it was never stated in the argument
As a thumb rule always keep sight of the argument HPE THIS HELPED AND INCREASED CLARITY
