How does the graying of Americans affect health care resources?

Delivery care, long term care, etc

It means as the caregivers start to retire, there is going to be a shortage of experienced replacements at the same time demand starts to climb.

As we age we need more medical assistance. So we use more resources.

too bad we don't age backwards:

Wrinkled, and then grow younger. Results would be the same though...so I guess we do it right.

Then we would say, "Poor guy...he had a good life, he lived till he was 9 weeks old..."

Then teenagers would really be smart! I guess some are already that way.

More focus on geriatric care, need for skilled workers for aging population. Booming business for economy, jobs for the medical field, housekeeping, dietary, business management, nurses, aides transporters, physical therapists
occupational therapists, ambulances, clerical, billing, insurances, economists, medical equipment both in home and in centers, recreation therapists, aides, etc etc.

All this comes from draining assets of individual in care.
Scaled down until you are destitue and need medicare.

oh and how do we pay for it? Why the lottery of course, everythime we lose, senior citizens get the money. And the
resources being paid for taxes.

My question is it a win win situation? Should they let euthanisia be legalized? Do you have a living will?
