A surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. About 300,000 SSIs occur each year. While most surgeries do not result in infection; about 1-3 patients out of every 100 who have surgery currently develop SSIs. Certain preventable surgical site infections (SSI) will no longer be reimbursed according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Effective October 1, 2008, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) selected high-cost or high-frequency events from the National Quality Forum's list of “never events” for inclusion in this reimbursement change (Brown, Doloresco, Mylotte, 2009).

Aside from treatment options of exercise and dietary supplements, bisphosphonates are the main class of drugs for the treatment of osteopenia and osteoporosis in early 2011, made from two phosphonic groups. The drugs worked by slowing the breakdown of bone by osteoclasts, resulting in an increase in BMD and a decrease in fractures. Despite the strong efficacy of bisphosphonates, compliance was low; studies indicated that about 50% of patients discontinued oral bisphosphonate therapy within the first year.

The mortality rate of mothers dropped from about 18% to 1%. There were even months when no women died! Younger people noticed and agreed with what Semmelweis had discovered – but Semmelweis’s boss still didn’t. Semmelweis was dropped from his job in 1849 and failed to find any other until the following year, when he started work at a hospital in Pest. Again, due to his hand-washing practices, death rates dropped to less than 1% in his hospital, but remained as high as 15% elsewhere.
With 48.3% of the population being Hispanic and Latinos, 35.1 % of the population being born outside of the United States, and 56.8% of the population over 5 year old speaking a language other than English at home, this plays an important factor in education in terms of academic education and also in the education of preventative healthcare practices. According to the County Health Ranking of 2015, only 79% of the population graduated from high school as compared to 83% for the California rate, and only 58.9% have some college education. This will impact the chances of acquiring employment in positions that offer salaries that provide a standard of living that is above the poverty level and also provide health insurance. Currently, 27% of children in Los Angeles County live in

Immigration policy's effect on the labor force should be carefully considered, but the vast majority of immigrants are not admitted based on education or skill level. In 2009, the U.S. admitted over 1.1 million legal immigrants, just 5-8 percent of whom possessed employment skills in demand in the United States. By contrast, 66.1 percent were based on family preferences, or 73 percent if the relatives of immigrants arriving on employment visas are included. 16.7 percent of admissions were divided among refugees, asylum seekers and other humanitarian categories, while 4.2 percent of admissions were based on the diversity lottery (which only requires that winners have completed high school). Some family-based immigrants may be highly educated or skilled, but the vast majority of admissions are made without regard for those criteria.

The data does not indicate whether people are succeeding when they are let go from the welfare program. A report from Richard Wolf from USA Today indicates that on August 1996 there were 8,607 families in Idaho on welfare, and then on December 2005 that number decreased to 1,870 families (Wolf, 2006). These numbers should indicate that the new rules of welfare are working. The data does not show that the number of people who qualified for Medicaid, food stamps, and other welfare assistance in Idaho increased 41% in June 2010 from the previous fiscal year (Department of Health, Idaho, 2012). For Idaho that means one out of every four people qualified for additional help.
