This week's chapter focuses on the economics and financing of healthcare. So for tonight's in-class assignment, you will research articles and summarize in two paragraphs the article based on the questions below. Provide the references you used and do not copy/paste from the article.

• Discuss the gross national product in terms of healthcare expenditures.
• Which sorts of programs will not receive funding when health care consumes a large percentage of federal expenditures?

The assignment will count towards attendance and is worth 50 points.
