Tradeoffs are a key concept I’ve taught in introductory and intermediate economics. Tradeoffs, both theoretically and practically, must be understood.
For example, if you provide a woman access to the full scope of health care, which includes full access to reproductive health services, she controls when and if she has children, not the government.
Suppose you provide the LBGTQ community access to the full scope of health care, including gender reassignment care and services. Then individuals control when and if to have gender-affirming surgery or use gender-affirming names or pronouns.
