There was something really bothering me about those stats and I've worked out what it is...
We keep hearing that life expectancy is increasing, increasing, increasing in developed nations. People are living for longer and longer and longer... With increased disability (because disability becomes more prevalent in later years).
But this denies that. It is saying that life expectancy isn't increasing in developed nations, anymore. It is decreasing. It came down (just a little - like, around a year on average). But the point is it's a complete denial of the... Uh... Party line.
All the planning over here is for aged care facilities.
Because the slum lords start with a single house and then a boarding house and then a tenament block and then an aged care facility / private hospital...
That's where all the public money goes. To 'contracting out' to them / to people doing that kind of thing.
