In terms of economics the United States has a capitalist mixed economy, which is fueled by abundant natural resources, a well-developed infrastructure, and high productivity. However, there are many people who prefer to call it as the ideal specimen of crony capitalism. Whatever it is, there is no doubt that the nation has a great reverence to the notion of welfare state and this trait is also present in its nature. There are, in fact, several studies that confirm US’ expense to the welfare of citizens is no less than any, if not more and this shows its robust commitment to develop the national life.

This attribute became visible yet again when it was announced by the White House six health clinics in the state of Pennsylvania will be given more than $6.7 million in the form of monetary aid thanks to the endeavor of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. What is the objective of this approach? Well, as indicated by a statement from the White House, the entire aid will be meant for the downtrodden people, especially those who are living in the lowest stratum of the society, without health insurance and this will make their access to decent life standards and health care services a reality.

Speaking on this President Barack Obama said in a statement, “We have acted quickly to put Recovery Act dollars to good use in communities across America.”. “The construction and expansion of health centers will help create thousands of new jobs and provide critical assistance to Americans who have lost their job and their health care. Health centers, primary care and prevention are at the heart of my plan for an affordable, accessible health care system.”

Which are these clinics? These include Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhood, Community Medical Services in New Kensington, Chespenn Health Services in Chester, Covenant House in Philadelphia and Keystone Rural Health Consortia in Emporium. Well, in this regard, credit must be given to the government of USA which is unwavering, in spite of the fiscal hardships owing to the existent downturn.
