Healthcare has been an ongoing debate in our society for the last 20 years. Trade-offs force society to make choices when faced with these three fundamental economic questions:

• What healthcare goods and services will be produced?
• How will healthcare goods and services be produced?
• Who will receive the healthcare goods and services produced?

In your original post, answer the following:

• How do you think the healthcare debate in our country should be resolved:
  1. Free market (personal responsibility, little to no government intervention)
  2. Mixed economy (similar to the system we now have, but more government intervention, as in some European countries)
  3. Centrally planned (single payer, socialism, government run, as in Canada or Great Britain)
• Why do we have to ration healthcare at all? Why not unlimited healthcare? Think in economic terms. What is at least one of the trade-offs and opportunity costs of your opinion?
