Reading this week's article (the fact sheet) I was reminded of how large a role economics play in health care. In some ways, it is really unfortunate that money matters so much. I was also surprised at how far below poverty level some people seem to be falling. Reading that part, I felt like major economic improvements need to be made before anything else.

As I said in last week's response, I also was slightly worried in how the new health policies will be funded for. It is, however, definitely a nice change and would probably prove to be very important in helping raise the health standards.
