In this paper I tried to show the connection between wealth in health. From the previous sections it can be seen that they are related. It is seen that through health wealth can be increased. When it is known which factors affect health then it is easier to think about the policies.

For example, redistribution of wealth is not seen as the best policy, because it is not Pareto efficient.

Redistribution will improve the wealth of low-income group, but reduces the wealth of high-income group, in total it can be seen that the health of nation stays at the same level, because the loss of health among the rich will be offset against the gains among the poor.

Grossman model modified by Jacobson shows that health can be viewed as a durable capital stock where individual can invest in. Partners can invest in to the health of each other, and parents can invest in health of a child. Jacobson model suggests that there should be different types of families taken into account when the policies are made.

One of the discussions of this paper is that the fetal health is very important. The improving of health should include the protection of the health of mothers. The health of child is important not only for its own sake but it brings a large payoff in terms of future human capital accumulation.

Education is one of the factors that affects both wealth and health, improving the education and making it accessible for all leads to a better health and wealth conditions. Also new technological innovations and medical innovations will increase the health. Better access to the medical service and information would also increase the health.

Improvements in health will not only increase the wealth of an individual, but it leads to economic growth. There should be more studied which policies could help to improve the unhealthy children opportunities and how to prevent the affect of past low socioeconomic status on future.
