Mr. Flower Case Summary

Decent Essays
After I watched the video, I realized Mr. Flower was simply trying to educate us on the problem we face with healthcare. He wants us to understand healthcare economics has to do with goods and services. Sometimes those services that the patients are paying for is not beneficial to them. Mr. Flower mentioned the patients need to know what services they are paying for and why. Mr. Flower help me understand why the cost of healthcare is on a steady incline. My belief is that patient care should be more important than how much of money that could be gain from a procedure or how much an insurance company could save by denying a procedure. The major concerns should be providing the patient adequate care.
