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?
Solution: preventive health care, promoting a healthy lifestyle from an early age, and healthy eating

On the money angle, I'm on board with the abundance crowd that I internalize as "be willing to spend money." Especially since most value is generated, and not necessarily discovered.

Obesity is currently only getting worse and many of these sicknesses are already irreversible in people. This also does not do anything about ageing

Its not people getting sicker, its mismanagement. Source: Two nurses in family

I am not surprised. Healthcare costs have been rising faster than inflation for several years. It's a difficult sell to increase budgets, so we have to resort to these "invisible" cost cutting measures to try and stay afloat.
This will continue to happen as long as automation in health care is slower than in other sectors. It's due to Baumol's Cost Disease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect The same is true for other sectors that struggle with automation like education.

1. This is way to much time in the classroom. Much of that coursework simply isn't necessary.
2. You have people that would be good nurses piking other programs because they can't get passing marks in classes that are irrelevant to day to day nursing.
Binding what are essentially professional programs to the academy is a mistake. Don't get me wrong, I love the academy. But we need nurses.
