lack of providers. western civilization is at the beginning of a catastrophe that will unfold over the next 20-30 years. the baby boomer generation are senior citizens, and they will all require healthcare as they age. you cannot find a primary care doctor in many parts of the country at all. even worse is the mental health treatment field. there are not nearly enough licensed therapists to treat the tidal wave of new clients that are coming into the system, particularly as mental health awareness increases.  it is easier to find a therapist than a psychiatrist, and a psychiatrist can provide treatment 5-10 times as many patients as a therapist. every therapist i know is full is my entire city, and has a wait list twice as long. the field is booming, but the demand is exponentially increasing. the flaw in the system is that the majority of people are not going to be able to connect with care.
