Comunity Health Workers.

We had an interesting class this morning, after we studied Intro to Public Health for three weeks or so we started this morning with the CHW. The system is just beginning in the U.S., and what is interesting that El Salvador is working with since the 90's. I have to look up, when we started in El Salvador. We were based in the Cuban model if I am correct and implemented it at the very preventive level. We had a little discution and how the Capitalist system doesn't support it, because is not convienent for the capitalist government, of course the U.S. is a "Democrat country and not Capitalist".
What is really interesting is how the Health system y affected by little changes, the corporations that run the heatlh in the States doesn't consider a necesity the rol of this Health workers. I guess because there are several monetary issues that could be affected. Anyways I have to read more about the subjects in perspective and form a neutral opinion about the matter.
