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.
A simpler reason: the population is aging. Also, insurance that supports healthcare is more readily available ... at least for now.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
