Idk about that. A healthy population seems like it would be great for the economy to me.

People can work at a higher standard for more of their lives. If we take into mental health, those hours worked will probably be a lot more productive too.

The nation as a whole becomes more wealthy yes, but the status quo makes a much smaller portion of the population much richer. So who is to say whether the current system is bad or good?
