Not everyone is going to work for the government. I expect a continuing increase in healthcare jobs and workers. Jobs for providing for the human, not jobs for capital aggregation.

> In line with recent trends, the health care industry is expected to add more new jobs than any other industry over the next ten years. As shown in Figure 1, health care is projected to add 1.6 million jobs from 2023 to 2033, which is approximately 24% of all jobs expected to be added to the economy. The health care industry is also anticipated to be the third fastest-growing industry, with a growth rate of 9.0%.

Given the bill that just passed that cuts Medicaid and Medicare funding, how do you suppose that healthcare jobs will increase?

I suppose a lot of people are going to die prematurely instead of getting care. That’s a policy choice. Have a conservation with your Congressional rep about it, if it matters to you.

Do you think you can convince people of reproductive age to have kids in this environment? Or do you think people are going to opt out while the wealthy get wealthier? This will speed the decline of US total fertility rate, out of self preservation in a socioeconomic environment that provides no support to parents and the poor.
