1. Which best describes the primary reason that Americans are concerned about health care?
b b b b b b b b b b b b




a. Politicians are discussing how to improve health care. b b b b b b b




b. The media has provided mixed messages about the health care system.
b b b b b b b b b b




c. Our national health care costs keep increasing.
b b b b b b




d. The new health care system offers free services to Americans.
b b b b b b b b b




ANSWER: C b




The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs, which c annot
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the majority of escalatin g health care
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


dollars, which increased from 5.7% of the gross domestic product in 1965 to 17.8% in 2015.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


Politicians and the media both influence Americans‘ perceptions about heal th care; however,
b b b b b b b b b b b b


they are not the primary reason why Americans are concerned. The new h ealth care system will
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


change the health care access and availability, but will not necessaril y be offering any free
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


services to Americans.

As the largest segment of health care providers, nurses are informed about the current healt h

esperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually belie ve

that health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to o ur current
