Brasfield (chapters 1-2)


When reading this book you can tell that the entirety of the book is from an economic perspective. I must admit that reading all of the percentages and numbers that corresponded to the cost of health care. There are also many different graphs, which also caused me to get even more confused.  There was a topic that really captured my attention what was “If public spending equals socialism, are we almost there?” Many people believe that our government is headed towards socialized medicine, which is when medical and hospital services are provided by the government and paid for by taxes. I can definitely see both sides to this, some may say that it is not fair that they have to pay for someone else healthcare, but on the other hand public health it extremely important in our nation because everyone is affected one way or another, so it is looking out for the country as a whole.
