Document Summary
Gross domestic product (gdp): is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country"s borders in a specific time period. Though gdp is usually calculated on an annual basis, it can be calculated on a quarterly basis as well. Gdp includes all private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports minus imports that occur within a defined territory. This is done by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviours that can lead to disease or injury, and increasing resistance to disease or injury should exposure occur. This is done by helping people manage long-term, often-complex health problems and injuries (e. g. chronic diseases, permanent impairments) in order to improve as much as possible their ability to function, their quality of life and their life expectancy. The majority of americans have group health insurance coverage through their employer or the employer of a family member.
