    Yes, the explosion with the boomers, hence the name, is the issue. So lots of people suddenly, then far less suddenly, that is the issue. Steady is no problem and slight decrease or increase all do not create such a catastrophic situation.

      Is there literature on how catastrophic this is looking? I hear that it’s going to be rough for the elderly looking for care, and could tax our medical system, but I don’t think I really grasp it.
