Griffin Malone, Introduction, Question 6

After reading the introduction to Naked Economics I now realize that as a student I never realized the role that economics plays in my life. I'm an unemployed teenager so money, financial stability, and the economy has never affected me. Now I realize economics has been apart of my life they entire time. Just by reading the introduction I see how economics affects problems I hear about all the time. Health care is mentioned in the passage and I see why we are struggling to provide a generous helpful health care system. People want the health care system to be easy and good but we don't want to spend the extra money to make it that way. Like in the case of the hospital pregnancy births and the amount of care given after is expensive. We want more good care to stay longer but we also don't want to make it to expensive so people can't afford it and get equal opportunity. I see this economics book and class as a gateway to understanding the world in a new smarter way.
