America’s healthcare system is working out how to function with fewer immigrants and an aging population—it’s not going particularly well

America's healthcare system is facing significant challenges as it grapples with a declining number of immigrants and an aging population. Healthcare professionals emphasize the urgent need for clear immigration policies to attract skilled foreign-born workers who are essential for providing care to older citizens. This situation is critical because without these workers, the quality of care for the aging population may suffer, leading to broader implications for public health and the economy.
