Concerns on Healthcare Delivery
The current delivery of health care services represents one of the most important subjects for discussion both in the Obama Administration as well as the Republican one and the Administrations that preceded the Bush one. Regardless of political color, it must be pointed out that the health care system in the United States does not only depend on the ideological orientation, but also on the people and their own beliefs in terms of human action and interaction. It is a clear fact that "Ten years ago, the US healthcare system was declared "broken," and it has not improved. Fixes promised by managed care have not materialized. Premiums are rising. Hassles for patients and physicians abound. Nearly 45 million Americans are uninsured." (Garson, 2000)
