Blog #3 - Market Economy

    The market economy for America seems to be a good system, but there are some disadvantages to it too. One that I feel most strongly about, in which I read in the Economics book pages 36 - 39 is health care. I feel that we should provide health care to more people, and make it more available for those who can't afford it. I feel really down when I read or hear about someone whom something bad happened to because they couldn't afford health care, which is extremely unfortunate. I feel that the government should work on making it less profitable for health care.
    However, if we did that, how would the police, firemen, street cleaners, ect. get a profit? I see how that can be important too.
    My mom's uncle owned 8 different companies throughout his life, so it never effected him badly when the market crashed. Even now when we're in the recession, he's doing fine. He's retired now, but owns like the largest house in Blackbutte (with an elevator, 5 balconies, theater, ect.) plus another expensive condo down in LA.


    Could they take more taxes out of people's paycheck for more affordable services from the government?
