Some of the factors that have contributed to rising health-care costs in the United States. According to People Keep there are nine reasons. “1. Medical providers are paid for quantity, not quality, 2. The U.S. population is becoming more unhealthy, 3. Newer healthcare technology is more expensive, 4. Many Americans don’t choose their own healthcare plan, 5. There’s a lack of information about medical care and its costs, 6. Hospitals and providers are well-positioned to demand higher prices, 7. Fear of malpractice lawsuits, 8. Inflation’s impact on the economy, 9. The U.S. population is growing older.”

“World War II was a time of great prosperity in the United States.” This statement is a lie. Just because we won, doesn’t mean that we had great prosperity. The biggest reason I say this is because the government was too busy with the war to focus on America. They sent all our young, strong, and hard workers to fight in the war. Because they were gone, they had to be replaced by teenagers, older men, and women. Because of this, we couldn’t prosper anywhere near the rate we did before the war.
