State of the Union indicators
The Gross Domestic Product is the indicator we use to determine our country's well being. HA! The sicker we are, the more catatrophies we endure, the longer our work hours and separtion from families, the better the GDP. Why? Because we spend more money in these circumstances;therefore, supposedly we are better off.
Do you feel better off? How about your family, friends, neighbors? What indicators would you like to see considered when we assess our health as a nation?
My ideas:(brainstorming)
Environmental impact figured in as a loss when determining corporate profits
Assess to healthcare
Choice in healthcare
Safe and affordable housing accessibility
Percent of energy that comes from sustainable sources
Parenting education and respite care accessibility for families
Financial and training support for parents choosing to nurture and educate their preschool children at home...out of room! Your ideas??????
