Much of the west is getting older and getting sicker. How unsurprising.

What even is the solution? Expand the already massive healthcare sector further? Where does the money for that come from?

Cuts down on health costs but also increases life span, so you have the issue with the number of elderly citizens vs number of working citizens who can provide care. That needs to be tackled too somehow.
