The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing
costs, which cannot be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick
da d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a


accounted for the majority of escalating health care dollars,
d a d a which increased
d a da d a d a d a


from 5.7% of the gross domestic product in 1965 to 17.8% in da d a d a


2015. Politicians and the media both influence Americans‘ perceptions about
d a d a d a d a d a d a da d a d a d a


health care; however, they are not the primary reason why Americans are
d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a da d a d a d a


concerned. The new health care system
d a will change

access and availability, but will not necessarily
d a d a be offering d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a


any free services to Americans.

As the largest segment of health care providers, nurses are informed about
d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a


the current health care system and all
d a d a the problemsthat
da result d a da


from peoplenot seeking care until they are desperately ill. Nurses, da d a


as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually d a


believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses,
d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a da d a d a


whose work is central to our
d a current health
d a care d a d a d a d a a
d


delivery system, can also be instrumental in working politically to create
d a d a d a


a health care delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses

d a d a da d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a d a
