Ageing drivers and driver shortage

There is an issue with age/health/benefits/pensions.
It’s too easy to imagine a driver being too frightened to visit a doctor because of fear of losing their licence and ending up skint.
Those who loose a vocational licence through ill health should be better paid than those who choose to be unemployed.
There is an obligation to look after oneself of course, and I don’t think it’ll be easy to check or enforce such a scheme. But should the potential for abuse from ‘lead swingers’ prevent the majority benefitting, and protecting us all from sick drivers at the wheel?
There’s also a thought we should all be grown up enough to pay for private health insurance etc. I’d agree that’s best but can see most may believe that, but don’t follow their own advice. In the real world it needs a compulsory deduction from wages.
