The article examines the impact of historical and contemporary public policy changes on aging, disability, and mental health, highlighting significant shifts in the United States and China. It discusses the establishment of major social and health insurance programs in the U.S., such as Social Security and Medicare, and their evolution through various political eras, including the New Deal and the Civil Rights movement. The article also addresses recent policy transformations under the Trump administration and their implications for older adults, alongside international examples like China's initiatives to improve health and well-being for aging populations.
