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
gg g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


accounted for the majority of escalating health
g g g g care dollars, g g which gg g g g g g g


increased from 5.7% of the gross domestic product in 1965 to gg


17.8% in 2015. Politicians and the media both influence Americans‘

perceptions about health care; however, they are not the primary reason
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g gg


why Americans are concerned. The new health care system

the health care access and availability,

ANS: C gg




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


the current health care system and all
g g g g the problemsthat
gg result g g g


from peoplenot seeking care until they are desperately ill. Nurses, gg g g


as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually g g


believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g gg g g g g


whose work is central to our
g g g gcurrent health care g g g g g g g g g


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

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

g g are in several current TV series and are employed both inside and outside
g g g g gg g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


g g of hospitals, physicians and other health care providers are as well. Nurses
g g g g g g gg g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
