Health care costs continue to increase and are forecast to do so in the foreseeable future. The federal government is not required to have a balanced budget and can go into debt. However, most states must have a balanced budget. they must have the money before they can spend it. Also, most states are not in a position to raise revenues (taxes). If healthcare costs continue to grow, what state services would you cut first to provide for this increase in healthcare costs and why? Why do you think healthcare is a greater benefit to the state than the service you selected to cut? (Remember, you can only suggest cuts and not increases in revenue tax increases.)
