okay then, if they are not offering a service LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 26/03/2010 08:13:54 PM
what are they offering? A product of some sort?

Under a list of economic services: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_%28economics%29#Service_definition

If health care is not a service, what is it? What is your answer?


And an example of a non-service industry is the sale of apples. The producer is selling the apple. Not his ability to pick apples, but the apple itself. If he was hiring himself out to pick apples, he'd be providing a service.

oh, and PS. it's "legitimate".
