While "SAD" - Standard American Diet - has caused health problems, it's not directly related to health care jobs; it is related to longevity declines in some groups, but since those are declines, obviously health care hasn't been able to fully compensate.
The primary reason health care is a growth industry is because of the preferential status given it by tax law, in a way that encourages inefficient use of resources by tying health care costs to employers rather than to the individuals that benefit.
