Brasfield 3-5

When looking at chapter 5, and even the health care system alone, a big focus is on money. There seems to never enough. Health care systems are a necessity and we need to find more funding for our current technology and medicine and well as fund for research and new and developing technology so that treatments will become more advanced which could result in many lives saved. The US spends the most money on health care per capita than other countries, while on the same chart, we have lower life expectancy (though not by much). If we aren't living longer, where is the money going if its not keeping our people alive? We also have fewer doctors and nurses, but we have more surgeries and we pay doctors more. So the question everyone, even Brasfield, is asking: How do we reduce costs? To keep our health care system alive, it has to have money to keep it going. One answer he gives is to reorganize the system. I bet when people were forming the health care systems, they did not think it would become so pricey. Maybe if we did just wipe the slate clean and some how start over and distribute funding and costs in a more effective manner, then we would have a better and stronger health care system.
