Generation Reform

It is no secret that healthcare reform and education costs are both ongoing political and economic issues currently facing mass criticism in the United States. Over the last 30 years, these issues have gotten dramatically worse, and do not seem to be going away anytime soon. The accumulated evidence shows that the current structure of our system reflecting the cost of healthcare results in extremely poor conditions and outcomes for the general public. The number of practicing medical professionals is slowly declining due to the return of investment on their education, which directly correlates with the quality of healthcare currently being provided. The demand exists- but is their accessibility for individuals to receive affordable and proper care?

We are living in an era where people need to educate themselves in order to accelerate change in the system and benefit from the knowledge to truly understand how a thriving economy functions.

Professional industry leaders and expert economists are reported to be focusing on the emerging trends in quality health care and quality education. Medical and educational facilities around the country are revamping their curricula to improve data analytics, techniques and enhance the efficiency of the system. Online platforms and coursework are being created to enable students to learn about how they can continue to grow in the educational space without the astronomical spend. These programs are designed to still be personalized to an individual’s strengths and weaknesses.

Self-declared, Generation Y, young adults represent a new culture and era of individuals facing some of the most uncertain economic times since the Great Depression. Many acknowledge this predicament, but not enough people seem to put forth in comprehending why. Through basic acknowledgement, competency, perception, and responsiveness, follows a solution.

Specifically regarding health care and education as one of the most topical issues on every young adults mind, individuals are searching for answers and exploring their options. The Henry George School of NYC has a specialized course dedicated to a wide variety of psycho-socioeconomic difficulties for patients, students and clinicians alike.

Problems include, but are not limited to, decreasing quality of care, over diagnosing of patients, overprescribing of medications, student indebtedness, lowered academic standards and inflated grades.

These dysfunctional outcomes are the direct result of the “corporatization” of these sectors which radically “converted” them from socially essential services to “profit driven” ventures. In this highly interactive program and other available seminars, the leading professors will attempt to examine the causes of these social timebombs and develop a series of recommendations to address them.

On another end of the spectrum, the country is experiencing employment wages which are not keeping up with the cost of living causing income disparity. Overall inflation and unemployment steadily rises.

Is it our system? Is it our government? Is it misguided priorities or the symptoms of built-in defects in the economy. Whatever you factor into your belief or opinion on the topical debate at hand, the major question is what can be done to change the course of behavior and education before it gets worse?

The Henry George School of Social Science stands out above other developmental centers due to their initiatives in offering tuition- free courses in NYC. It is their mission to reach the masses with an opportunity to rediscover a fair and just system. Their core standard is based on the writings of the expert, American political economist and social reformer, Henry George, author of Progress and Poverty, an all-time best seller in economics.

The free courses and seminars will provide you with the analytic tools to break down the root causes of your very own economic crisis and discover simple reforms that reward free enterprise, raise incomes and promote responsible development.

And, in the words of Henry George himself, “Social reform is not to be secured by noise and shouting, by complaints and denunciation; by the formation of parties, or the making of revolutions, but by the awakening of thought and the progress of ideas. Until there be correct thought, there cannot be right action, and when there is correct thought, right action will follow.”
