question 83

Essay

Of the types of abuse discussed by Souryal and McCarthy, budgetary abuse is the one that is most in your control: you are the governor of the State of Michigan. Three major reforms are up for consideration: the reduction of the use of isolation units, which will potentially lead to more overcrowding, the institution of better medical care, which will be partially funded by co-payments, and the increase of family visits and educational programming, which will be on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. How will you decide what to prioritize? Are there other solutions available to you?
