English to Russian Art/Literary Economics normative economics

Normative economics is based on subjective value judgments, not on the search for any objective truth. The following statement combines positive and normative economics: "The elderly have very high medical expenses compared with the rest of the population, and the government should subsidize health bills of the aged." The first part of the proposition - the claim that the aged have relatively high medical bills - is a statement in positive economics. It is a statement about how the world works, and we can imagine a research that could determine whether or not it is correct. Broadly speaking, assertion happens to be correct.
