Discuss Domestic Product is estimated to be approximately the same size” (Smith 2002, p23) If done responsibly it could be a great benefit to health care, in order to get new health care policies in place that are needed.

i need a discussion response to the following postInterest groups are a group of people who have a common concern in the same subject, such as health policy. They work together on the same common view in order to get new policies written, or some policies that they don’t agree with changed. “The representatives of an interest group accomplish this by means of lobbying. Lobbying involves talking to people in powerful positions to achieve a goal. Often, interest groups find resistance from the public because they are seen as the guys who work behind the scenes to influence legislators. This concept of influencing legislators can often give the appearance that interest groups just have a lot of money, powerful connections, and an economic interest in influencing policy.” (The Role of Interest Groups in Public Health Policy, 2017)Pros for interest groups include things such as being able to get things accomplished, and get things moving along when it comes to making policies when it could otherwise take much longer. Working in a group of individuals that have the same views as you do, also promotes a wonderful opportunities for brainstorming different ideas, and views as to the best route to accomplish their goals. Cons included with interest groups are that many are looked at as a form of bullying the legislation in order to get what they want accomplished for their own personal gain. At one point the “healthcare lobbying as a whole accounted for 15% of all lobbying expenditures; healthcare’s growing segment of the Gross Domestic Product is estimated to be approximately the same size” (Smith 2002, p23) If done responsibly it could be a great benefit to health care, in order to get new health care policies in place that are needed.
