Conclusion Humanitarian considerations aside, sheer economics dictates that country X should institute, as country Y has done, a nationwide system of air and ground transportation for conveying seriously injured persons to specialized trauma centers. ██████ ██████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███████ ████ ████ ████ ███████████ ███████ ███ ███████ █████ ████ ███ █████ ██ ████ ███████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ██████ █████ ██████ ██ █ ███████████ ████████ ██ ███████ ███ █████ ████████ ████████ ███ ███ █████ ████ ██ █████ ████████ █████ █████████████ ███████ ██████████ █████████
Summary
The author concludes that for economic reasons, country X should implement a nationwide system of air/ground transportation to bring seriously injured people to specialized trauma centers.
What makes the author think this?
We know that timely access to the medical care that only these specialized centers can provide can save lots of lives.
The author thinks this fact establishes that the earnings of people whose lives are saved would increase country X’s GNP, and taxes on those earnings would increase government revenues.
Notable Assumptions
Notice that the conclusion asserts that something makes economic sense to do. That invites scrutiny of the economic costs/benefits of the recommendation. So one assumption that might come to mind is that the economic benefits of implementing the air/ground transportation system outweigh the costs of implementing and maintaining the system.
The author also assumes that people whose lives are saved by the specialized care centers will be able to work and earn money.
