This is one of the biggest problems in the medical system and the boomers are about to learn all about it

For most of humanity, a major medical issue in the elderly would usually bring about death soon enough. We've gotten to a point where we can extend people's lives far beyond after these events, but it costs a lot of money to maintain these people in these conditions. Something is going to give.

Sort of a ridiculous statement in response to “we should have nurse/patient ratios. Theres plenty of money. Tax the rich, end the for-profit healthcare system. That’s the only thing that can give because the working class doesn’t have any more to give.
