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?

Make that a discussion with the local politics. In theory at least, everybody will need healthcare in their lives and more so when aging. And we need a plan for that, not to act surprised (the way some leaders act surprised with gas dependency, or with immigration, or with...). Everything can have solutions, if it's not swept under the rug.

>Make that a discussion with the local politics.

There is nothing more irrelevant than addressing large scale social issues in local politics. Besides not once in my life have I seen politics improve anything, politics seems to attract the dumbest and most self righteous types of people, who care about nothing but their self image. My time on earth is limited and much too precious to spent it in the company of politicians or just people invested in politics. No Thanks!

Correct me please if I'm wrong but do you maybe mean with that "let's do nothing and just die"? That I cannot accept, so what else?

Firstly, the success rate of politics appears to be precisely zero.

Secondly, if I have the choice between politics and death, death is the easy winner.
