alzheimer's disease by 2025. to meet that goal, the chairman of the advisory committee on alzheimer's research care and services, dr. ron peterson whom we will hear from shortly told our committee last congress that we will need to devote at least $2 billion a year to alzheimer's research. well, at first blush, that may seem like a lot of money. but when you compare it to that chart, $26 billion that we're spending caring for people with alzheimer's? it's less than 1%. and that's the context that we need to put it in. and that's why i've introduced a resolution with several of my colleagues stating that the senate will strife to double the amount of funding that our country spends on alzheimer's in fiscal year 2016 and develop a plan to meet the target of $2 billion over the next five ye or perhaps tomorrow, the budget is on the florida. i also will be offering an amendment to the budget which i'm pleased to say is co-sponsored by my ranking member, senator mccaskill as well and senator warner, senator toomey, an

and sometimes having doors open for people with alzheimer's can be helpful.ut that doesn't work for every person. so there are lots of ways that you can prevent wandering in your home or like in a daycare center. >> and if somebody should happen to come across a wanderer what's the important thing in terms of offering assistance? >> well, i think it's important to be calm, be gentle. and meet the person where they are. and just offer assistance and help. if the person has something like our medical -- like they return jewelry and they may have an identification bracelet where they help the good samaritan and help them get back to safety, but even if not, calling the local authorities can help, but staying calm and being gentle really makes a difference. >> the director of family information services for the alzheimer's association ruth, thank you for coming on. >>> if you're planning a road trip this summer by car you're going to love the latest prediction about summertime gas prices. the department of energy reported today they expect gas prohibitions to fal

alzheimer's is, in fact, the costliest disease to society. total 2015 payments for caring for those with alzheimer's and other dementias are estimated at $226 billion. total payments for health care, long-term care hospice, and others are repro-jeblingted to increase to more than $1 trillion in 2050. when we talk about reforming medicare when we talk about doing the things we need to do to save medicare and keep our promises to our seniors, we have to recognize the critical importance and the return on investment that investment in the national institutes of health can have. i say in the debates about medicare reform, these are important debates, let's pay attention to investment in the national institutes of health and particularly the under investment in the research that goes on in places like the sanders brown center on aging. this can have an enormous impact on our ability to keep medicare solvent and also improve the lives of so many americans. so i hope and i call on all of my colleagues here to join me in thanking everyone at the univ
