Yes, on several levels.
Ageing population, more long term conditions and a public sector pension liabilitty of £2tn+. There are not enough young people in the UK to bankroll the old folk, which is one of the reasons the Uk follows a high immigration policy (immigrants tend to be working age and have kids).
