Abstract
The Supreme Court's decisions on the ACA won't undo the realization that how we deliver and pay for care must change.

And while we hoped that Congress would move past its partisan squabbling to address these incredibly important issues, it didn't happen, even among members of the bipartisan deficit "super committee," which failed to find a compromise solution to reduce the deficit. For nursing, it was all about whether the Institute of Medicine's Future of Nursing report would create change. Clinical news shows that consumers are still wary of vaccines and confused about screening guidelines; on a global level, the focus seems to have shifted from AIDS to noncommunicable diseases.
In November of last year, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the increasing burden of health care costs had impoverished millions of Americans.

Editor's note: Each January AJN examines the major stories affecting nurses and health care during the previous year.

According to the U.S.A. Today (Borenstein, 2007), the latest IPCC report states that within twenty years "hundreds of millions of people won't have enough water." And while safe drinking water may not be available to those millions of people, tens of millions of others will be "flooded out of their homes each year" as rising temperatures cause polar ice caps to melt. "Tropical diseases like malaria will spread" and in
Health Care Systems In today's advanced and modern society, which is dependent upon new and emerging technologies in almost all fields of life, the importance of health care systems cannot be denied in any case.
