The US System of Health Care Is Based on an Ability

The U.S. system of health care is based on an ability to pay for care, which leaves millions of people uninsured or underinsured, with inadequate access to health care. Nurses are often presented with ethical dilemmas when caring for patients and families. Which of the following is an example of an ethical dilemma? Select all that apply.

A) All clients are entitled to care, whether they can pay or not, because health care is a right.
B) You may have to pay higher insurance premiums to cover the cost of care because you smoke.
C) There are free clinics and health programs to serve the poor; they should receive health care there.
D) Should the uninsured person, who cannot pay for health care, receive the same care and services as someone who works and pays for insurance?
