Case Study- Demographer David Foot on Health Care for the Future

Questions 1-3
1) What impact does David Foot believe the aging baby boom generation will have on health care in communities such as Toronto?
Aging baby boomers will have a huge impact on hospitals. When the aging baby boomers start having health issues, new hospitals will have to be built which means more nurses and doctors because we wont be able to fit all of them in the already established hospitals. The
2) What solutions does he purpose to deal with these issues?
His solution is to combine all the aspects of health care together: doctors, health care workers all under one budget. The health care organization will get a certain amount of money from each person based on age and how sick they are.
3) Do you agree with his predictions and solutions? Explain why or why not?
I think that this could be good and bad in some situation. For example people would have to learn to take care of their bodies a lot better so they would have more money in their pocket. This could be bad because not every one can afford health care or insurance which will make more poor and sick people.
