Chapter 2 Response

Chapter two was more or less describing the different health departments our country has created. The biggest department is the Department of Health and Human Services. Although that is our biggest department, it is unfortunately one of the many our country provides. Most people would think it is a really good thing that we have all of these departments and services that focus on health, well to their disbelief, it has actually been more harm than good. Having a system so array has caused a lack of education to the public of what is offered. We have created a system that is so complex that these departments have not been to our benefit. Perhaps the government should consider combining many of these departments into a larger, more accessible department. People would be more aware of what is offered out there to help them. And maybe, just maybe, they will name this new conduced department of health SLAM. We'll see.

  1. I hadn't thought of it that way. I was very surprised to read about just how many departments there are and I'm sure there are many other people out there that don't know what there is to offer as well. That is a really good point and maybe it would be more effective if some were combined to create more well known organizations that are available to the people that need them.
