Explanation:

As the baby - boomer generation ages, a large number of people will enter the senior citizen category. Senior citizens generally have higher healthcare needs due to age - related health issues. This increased demand for healthcare services from a large group of senior citizens is likely to drive up healthcare costs.

• Option B: There is no general trend that healthcare providers will charge more for certain types of patients in a way that would be a major cause of overall rising healthcare costs.
• Option C: If all medicine becomes generic and easily accessible, it would likely lead to lower costs, not higher.
• Option D: There is no evidence to suggest that doctors will refuse to see non - cash - paying patients on a scale that would cause a significant rise in healthcare costs.

Answer:

A. a large group of people will become senior citizens
