How many people work in health care now? How many people are under/unemployed? How long will elderly live?
Do you see how this isn't a crisis for anyone but the rich?
HEALTHCARE has a definitely shortage in alot of areas, nursing, doctors, and there so much fuckery going on with those industries too make it an unattractive option, Nursing you might be enticed to go as a traveling nurse, since they can make a High income earner. Others like CLS have limited amount of schools that will even teach for the certification it requires,(its a grad level certification) and thus the competition for these school is very high, and they all try to come to cali for it.
You did nothing to explain how it's not a crisis for the poor.
You're looking at it purely from a present-day perspective. Just because the pool of available workers is large enough today to provide for everybody doesn't mean that it will be fifty years into the future. It's not about "infinite growth" it's about providing a consistent standard of living and a fair generational contract that doesn't place an undue burden on future generations.
Well, there's a simple fix. Since 1970, the standard of living for 90% of the population in the US has been stagnant or declining. We have absolutely increased our GDP, our productivity, and our total economic output. But all the gains have gone to the top 10%. You could tax all economic growth past the 1970 level at 100%, and 90% of the country wouldn't even notice.
