Health Care Law Ethics
Health care over the years has become one of the most important debates to take place within the United States of America. This fact holds particularly true for the major part of the Obama Administrations whose New Health Care policies has been criticized extremely (Zhi Qu, 2010). The world, however, is still waiting for the final curtain to rise and to witness the climax which would be a while since the complete form of the plan will be implemented in the year 2014. The full effect of the Bill therefore is still something that will be witnessed in the near future but that doesn't mean that the criticism with regards to the bill is going to subside anytime soon.
The Center that has been presented in this situation, which functions under the heading of "The North Florida Women's Center" has been defined as a not for profit organization as the mention of sliding fee scale has been made quite clear which asserts to the nature of the organization.

To avoid this collaboration an attack is done on the MD which has been taken on board by the Center for their OB/GYN consultations, Mary Ellen Stuart, M.D, and ultimately pressurizing the Center's collaborative partner Happy Family to stop their cooperation with the center.
In this case, Dr. Stuart is in a position to file against the General Hospital under the Shermann Act.
