Reid begins chapter 7 discussing the Beveridge model of health care. The first aspect that stood out to me is that the sales tax rate in Britain in 17.5%. Reid is right, that amount does make us Americans cringe, especially me! I can’t even imagine going to buy a new shirt and getting taxed 17.5%, a huge increase from Michigan’s 6% tax rate. The Brit’s single national health system (NHS) spends one fifteenth of the U.S. health care bill.

Dear Walter Dean Myers, Affiliations can be potential, essential, influential, and of course consequential. Steve, you entered an unthinkable, unimaginable situation, a sequence containing mental and emotional carousels. This evidential trial threw your young self into an overwhelming state, where people who did not know the slightest thing about you wanted you in jail for your entire life--the prosecutor, Sandra Petrocelli, and many citizens who accused YOU of killing Mr.Nesbitt.

However, his false bravado and self-created grandiose image, will most likely impede his ability to accept the needed treatment and potentially diminish the likelihood for a positive prognosis.
