“The period of life spent not healthy is getting larger and larger and the implications of that are enormous,” says Dr. John Rowe, a professor of health policy and aging at Columbia University. “70 is the new 80.”

More quotes from WSJ article:
“The more years of old age we get, the more opportunity we have to develop one or more age-related conditions—a consequence of success, not failure, says S. Jay Olshansky, an aging researcher and professor of public health at the University of Illinois at Chicago.”
“Health officials might also be catching more cases of diseases that they previously missed thanks to increased surveillance and diagnostic sensitivity, says Dan Belsky, an epidemiologist at Columbia University’s Robert N. Butler Aging Center.”
“And treatment advances for many diseases have made living with chronic illness more manageable than in the past.”
