Will future working populations be expected to pay 70, 80, even 90% in taxes to support the health care system? Will people not be able to “retire” at 65, but have to work onto much older ages? Will these systems simply collapse allowing millions of people to have uncomfortable and disagreeable lives? Or will preventative medicine, the logical choice be adopted to help curb the impending cash-crunch crisis?

These ideas really do have to be thought through now, which is why The Conservative Party in the UK has formed a new discussion group called; “Tories for Older Peoples” or TOPS. It is chaired by Stella Kyriazis, prospective Tory MP for Telford in England and wife of Dr. Marios Kyriazis’ Simon Burns MP, the Shadow Minister for Health in the UK is its president, and is also patronised by Michael Howard QC, MP, the leader of the Conservative Party.

The first of the TOPS meetings was recently held in Westminster, London and a number of different speakers were invited to speak. One of the 4 panel members included Phil Micans, Editor of the Antiaging Magazine and Vice President of the IAS Group, who made sure that everyone was fully aware of the aging statistics and the relevance of anti-aging medicine as an emerging preventative health care technology for the 21st century.
