We don't have enough young people and too many old people, that situation is going to get worse especially with Brexit as our youngsters seek better opportunities elsewhere. Meanwhile Little England is left to fester with the whining oldsters who produce nothing but demand everything.
Maybe there is a case for being more generous to those who are doing us a favour by coming here as opposed to the other way round.

Having said that, even health care will be affected by automation. GP's may initially be replaced by AI and robots may keep an eye on the sick, elderly and disabled in their own homes; reporting back via the internet.
