From the Paper:

"The quality of health care continues to decline and be inadequate as crisis management is more and more becoming the patchwork solution for the nation's ineffectual healthcare system. This is not to say that there are not certain elements that of the current health care system that should not be maintained and continued. Reform should build upon the best parts of the current health care system and begin moving toward patient wellness and care. Nursing organizations realize what is needed in the area of reform and plan to convert rather than eliminate the current health care system."
