The delivering of health care to an indigent population, the lack of communication, education, changes with the US health care system and funding started to become a problem. This is when it was time for Cooper Green Hospital had to make changes. Even though it was about less time waiting and to receive quality medical care for an affordable price, the most important thing for the Cooper Green Hospital was funding.

The question is, will this reform be the cure for our ills or a bad pill to swallow? This paper serves as an examination of the economic and social impact of reform on the system of health care services and the delivery of same. In order to know where we are going, it is vital to know where we have been, therefore the background of national health care is reviewed and hypotheses about the impact it will have on the hospitals are made.

Hospitals continue to team up with other facilities, insurers and for-profit companies, although the cause of the bump in M&A activity varies. While some hospitals cite financial problems, others join forces because of collaboration mandated under the Affordable Care Act and changing reimbursement models, according to Minnesota Public Radio (Caramenico, 2012).…
