As one of the few major industrialized nations of the world that do not offer national healthcare insurance, the United States can ill afford to ignore the healthcare needs of millions of Americans because healthcare delayed simply means higher costs later on and a diminishment of the ability of workers to continue their employment in the future. In this regard, Davidson (1997) points out that, "If these folks delay seeking care until their health problems are advanced and more costly to treat, then everyone loses - the patient, the provider and all taxpayers who ultimately end up footing much of the cost" (p. 10).
