Healthcare reform

Healthcare reform is a general rubric used for discussing major policy changes--for the most part, governmental policy changes--to any existing healthcare system in a given place.

In the United Kingdom a massive programme of attempted reform of the British National Health Service has begun.

Some of the goals of the healthcare reforms are usually :

• Get more quality (EFQM), information and election of healthcare professionals for the user.
• Get more protection for as many people as possible, with lower costs.

Although healthcare reform was the major United States concern of the Clinton administration headed up by First Lady Hillary Clinton her complex proposal was not enacted into law.
