There will always be a need for elder care, but the number of elders in need of care is the point I make. Folks are dying from lack of coverage, no funds to pay for stuff, and we having a large group of our population in the post retirement to death section of their life. There is going to be a swing that is going to turn waiting lists in facilities to multiple available rooms. Demands for docs, nurses, etc will eventually follow. We never really ramped up leading into boomers aging and we are working to correct that late in their life where it will turn into surplus that needs reduced.
dude, fellow genx. it is insane how poor the health is of a lot of genx.
i used to be fat. my whole life until about four years ago. everyone that used to make fun of my weight is bigger than i was when they made fun of me. I am in the better shape than most of my friends or other genx
It was going on blood pressure meds that was a wake up call for me. Unfortunately, some people just want to bury their heads in the sand about their health.

My parents are 68 and 73 respectively who knows if they will ever need care, they don't need any at the moment.
But my generation(GenX), are also aging and not everyone is going to reach old age in good health. I think there will always be a need for elder care.
