" (May 2008, p. 779) it is actually surprtising that there are as many people in th world as there are who believe that the poor are those who do not work, given the current state of the economy and that fact that the majority of people who seek health care but are unable to pay for it are members of the working poor, class, a group that works full or greater than full time but has no or little opportunity to achieve economic independence.
Part of non-maleficence is seeking to offer intervention and preventative care to those who need it so they may not have to face costly life saving care. Nurses and other front line health care workers feel fidelity with those they serve and seek to demonstrate this through active participation in the development of ethical standards that are inclusive of the disadvantaged, acting within their political arena to make changes, on an institutional or local level, some even acting in a more global way to advocate for change on a national level. (Wold, Brown, Chastain, Griffis & Wingate, October/December 2008, pp. 171-178) Wold et. al. stress there are cases, that should be seen as templates to change, where groups of student nurses and nurses have banded together to help create a healthier community through the attempt to solve a specific health related problem, in the case of this review to assist in a rural southern community who had a significant lack of dental care for the poor. These types of social change constitute a living example of how nurses at all levels can and often do advocate for change within the confines of their profession. The response of institutions has largely been to attempt to isolate nurses and other workers from the collections end of the business, while still professing to maintain high standards of access. Keeping this in mind many nurses have sought to answer the question of equal access for the poor by stepping outside institutions and seeking to develop model programs that serve the needs of those least likely to be served inside their own workplace. Some have even gone so far as to become political advocates for access laws and taken extreme pay and working condition demotions to work for this cause in an environment that better serves the needs of the poor, while this is not true of all nurses those who are willing to do so should be seen as pioneers and modeled upon.

Definition and Description of the Issue Health policy and immigration policy are interconnected, as attitudes towards immigrants—especially those who are undocumented—have impacted the substantive content of healthcare policies like the Affordable Care Act. Similarly, immigration policies have been influenced by real or imaginary threats immigrants may pose to public health or public health spending. Political and economic expediency guides both health and immigration policy, whereas frontline healthcare workers including nurses have
Health Care One of the most contentious social issues in the United States today is the debate over the responsibility of the state to provide basic health care services for its people. Normal Daniels argues that "if social obligations to provide appropriate health care are not met, then individuals are definitely wronged. Injustice is done to them." The essence of Daniels' argument is correct. This paper will extend Daniels' argument using

(Menzel, 1990, p. 3) Fisher, Berwick, & Davis alude to the idea of integration in health care, with providers linking as well as creating networks of electronic medical records and other cost improvement tactics. The United States and other nations over the last twenty or so years, have begun a sweeping change in health care delivery, regarding the manner in which health information is input, stored and accessed.
