Final answer:
People less than 65 years old are not the largest healthcare consumer group, as those aged 65 and older, eligible for Medicare, hold that distinction.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is False. People less than 65 years old are not the largest health care consumer group. In fact, according to the information provided, those aged 65 and older, who are eligible for Medicare, a government program providing health insurance for that age group, make up the largest health care consumer group. As of the early 2000s, about 40 million people in the United States were eligible for Medicare. Additionally, as of 2013, 20% of the U.S. population was over 60 years old, amounting to almost 63 million people who will need increased medical care.
