Technological developments in healthcare help people to survive diseases that used to be fatal. Older people want to profit from new these opportunities as well, in order to live as long as possible. This puts tremendous pressure on solidarity. How long can we continue to increase expenditure on healthcare? Money spent on healthcare cannot be spent in other areas; there are limits to what we can afford.
