摘要

Here's a thought experiment. Suppose that you have $50,000. Using that cash, you can: a) remodel your outmoded bathroom; b) purchase an expen-rnsive new car; c) replace your arthritic and failing knee; or d) pay for two years of college for your child at your state university.rnWhich of these do you choose ? My guess is that most people would pick either "c" or "d." These days, fixing up your house or getting a new set of wheels feels like a luxury. But even in tough times, health and education are still necessities to most people. What's more, the public seems to support increased government spending in these areas. In an early February Gallup poll, 56% of Americans considered aid for education "one of the most important" items to have in a stimulus bill, beatingrneverything else, including tax cuts. The public support for health and education carries a broader economic implication. The two sectors, long maligned as inefficient, may turn out to be the best hope for sustaining the economy. Hospitals, universities, and the like employ about 30 million workers, or 22% of the workforce.
