Healthcare cost partly the result of an aging population with expensive chronic diseases? Priority would be ironically to research anti-aging to extend youthful lifespan. However, some problems are a result of a screwed up incentive structure in healthcare that is yet to be fixed, and may be harder than the technical problem.

You can also chose to have one child or 4 children. Just depends: do you get more happiness from 1 pampered child, or 4 modestly raised children.
