Dr. Gene Rudd, senior vice president of the Christian Medical Association, says they're worried they could be forced to facilitate abortions or prescribe drugs that violate their convictions.

There are different types of healthcare delivery systems available to meet the need of each patient. The United States is very unique when it comes to the system of healthcare delivery. Most countries that are developed have national insurance programs that are controlled by the government and financed through general taxes. Americans in the U.S. however are not automatically covered by health insurance. There are however various health care services in the United States designed to ensure that quality healthcare be given based on the patients’ illness and financial background.
Currently, in the Obama administration, several acts have been passed to overhaul the healthcare system today. President Obama has also put healthcare reform as his top domestic priority. Both administrations, past and current, have attempted to enact several different policies in terms of healthcare reform; this essay seeks to examine the differences and similarities between the two while analyzing the social, economic, and political environments for the times the policies were discussed and/or implemented. Due to the increasing numbers of the population without healthcare, this problem continues to be an intense area of debate. According to author Michelle Andrews, healthcare remains a top domestic issue…but the candidates are focusing on major reform, and, when referring to healthcare reform, they generally focus on two primary areas: accessibility and affordability (Andrews, p.32).

Some ways health care changes have affected my role is the focus on patient and family centered care. Patients presenting for emergency treatment are most concerned with the patients needs. By requesting insurance information on arrival, families are often made to feel as though they will be mistreated if uninsured or if insured through government issued health coverage, as opposed to private health coverage.
History of U.S. Health Systems The need to supply quality health care for all U.S citizens has been a major concern for the people as well as the government from early on in our nation’s history. The ever increasing costs of health care led to many attempts to institute national health systems, but these attempts were defeated and the development of private health insurance was instituted. Although this has brought health care coverage to many citizens it has left many people without coverage, and has not affected the cost of health care as hoped. More attempts to institute a national health system have been attempted and met with defeat, but according to (Quadagno, 2004) "legislation was successfully passed in 1965 to provide governmental financing for health care services for the elderly and the indigent” this was the introduction of the government programs Medicare and Medicaid. Even with these government programs in place the cost of health care still rose at an astounding rate and other attempts to control costs were implemented.

Studies, however, have shown that the United States is no longer leading the world in medical discoveries, that choice is available in government run health plans, and that services are equal to, and often better, than those available to the majority of Americans (Geyman,

You hear a lot about their needs to be more political planning regarding our health care policy. I believe their need to be more then analysis and striating the complex political and legal outlook of health care policy here in the US. There is a need more improvement and the only way the health care system and its policies are going to improve is by the implementation planning, feedback to our policy processes as we move forward.
