    AbstractExpenditure on health care has been rising for years. Also, the ageing population is a matter of fact. Generally, ageing goes along with higher expenditure for health care. Debates about the financial situation and solution for this situation are common. This article examines the impact of all aspects of ageism with regard to the expenditure in health care. Besides, for the practical effects of rationing, a multidimensional approach is illustrated. The article discusses the concept of age-dependent prioritisation of health-care spending.
