An estimated 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. Caring for patients with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia is estimated to cost the nation as much as $215 billion.

The report was released right before an Alzheimer's conference that begins here in Washington today. Diane Rehm and a panel of guests discuss why Alzheimer's is one of the most costly diseases for families and the nation.
