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 Accounted For The Majority
Of Escalating Health Care Dollars, Which Increased From 5.7% Of The Gross Domestic
Product In 1965 To 17.8% In 2015. Politicians And The Media Both Influence Americans’

HealthCare System And All The Problems That Result From People Not Seeking Care Until
They Are Desperately Ill. Nurses, As The American Nurses Association (Ana) Emphasize,
Usually Believe That Health Care Is A Right, Not A Privilege. Therefore, Nurses, Whose
Work Is Central ToOur Current Health Care Delivery System, Can Also Be Instrumental In
Working Politically To Create A Health Care Delivery System That Will Meet Health Needs.
