One of the feared outcomes of NAFTA was job loss within the United States to the other non-United States partners in NAFTA. The argument against this outcome cited the following advantages:

1. Promotion of economic growth through job creation in the other countries, thus improving health.
2. Decreasing the spread of communicable diseases due to improved technology.
3. Developing global health standards.
4. Improving environmental outcomes.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Concerns about United States involvement in NAFTA was related to job loss in the United States. Arguments rebutting this cited that NAFTA would increase economic opportunities for other NAFTA partners, thus increasing employment and income, which in turn would create better financial prosperity and improved health outcomes. Global health standards are not a function of the NAFTA globalization and environmental outcomes have not been addressed. Communicable disease spread was not an outcome addressed with NAFTA participation.
