Ethical challenges in the era of health care reform
Medsurg nursing, Vol.21(4)
01 Jul 2012
Abstract
In truth, the United States is at the beginning of a long overdue and a much needed health care reform. We have seen the dismal statistics about our high cost health care system and some of the less than stellar outcomes (e.g., infant mortality). The purpose of this article is not to complain about the current health care system, but instead to focus on existing reform efforts - The Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the ethical justifications for its creation, and ethical challenges it brings. 19 references
