> How many hours of labour per year does it actually take to feed, shelter and provide medical care for a person? If said person has Parkinsons, dementia, etc. the medical care/assistance alone is likely to be measured in hours per day. Easily approaching most of one's waking hours for bad cases. As boomers enter senescence the strain on the healthcare system will be immense, I predict. Whole lot of asses to wipe.
