Overwhelmed by social welfare: The elderly have higher medical costs and more need for caregivers than the population in general. In the past several households could help each other, but in the future an illness for an elderly person could overwhelm a household.
被社會福利拖垮老人在醫療費用、照顧人力的需求比一般成人高，台灣至今主要仍由家庭來照顧老人，過去可以幾個家庭互相支援，未來老人若有疾病就會拖垮、綁死一個家庭。
