Abstract

Throughout history, America’s methods of providing health care have always had an understated yet powerful impact on the way she chooses to wage war. And yet, this may be the first time that health care is itself under siege. Indeed, the specter of war has provided countless opportunities to test society’s mettle in battle, while forcing those in power to prioritize in terms of their country’s health care. As sides are drawn and campaigns evolve, the strategies of combat take shape in ways previously unforeseen. This is certainly true in contemporary America, though in our modern age of reform it is health care itself that has come under attack.

For the challenges facing health care today, the lines are blurry, the objectives complex and the future uncertain. All wars must one day end, however, and when the dust finally settles on the issue of reform, we as a nation can only hope there will be something or someone left to tend to the casualties that remain.
