Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. The primary objective of a health care delivery system is "to enable all citizens to access health care services that are cost-effective and that meet certain preestablished standards of quality" (Shi et al, 1998, p. PG); however, the system has failed the elderly populace time and time again, rendering it necessary for political action committees (PACs) like the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) to take charge of reform. The reason why some United States citizens are without any coverage in spite of the existence of public and private health insurance programs is because it is far too expensive if the individual is not being subsidized by an employer or is retired and unable to afford private insurance. Indeed, the United States health care market is referred to as "imperfect" because it does not allow for all people to take advantage of medical services -- only those who are either covered through employers or can afford their own private policies. The major players in the United States health services system -- which include physicians, health service institution administrators, insurance companies, large employers and the government -- are often at odds with one another and wholly unable to provide the necessary health care the elderly require. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

large employers and the government -- are often at odds with one another and wholly unable to provide the necessary health care the elderly require. Interest groups, a major part
of American society today, are organizations of people who share the same interest and attitudes about a particular topic, and endeavor to influence public policy. These groups are normally
organized for the purpose of being with people of like-minded moral reasons for the social aspect and to help with the economics in forwarding their belief in their cause.
With this understanding, it is no surprise why efforts toward health care reform have been significantly influenced again and again by such powerful interest groups. The effectiveness of these
groups are dependent upon such things as their size, location, intensity of their beliefs and how well organized they are as an organization in general; as well, these groups are
