		<description><![CDATA[This is the story of the US Healthcare System.  Born from the Judeo-Christian mission of caring for the ill, this system was educated through a series of parochial and public opinions and theories.  In addition, as new science birthed new medical and nursing practices, Healthcare tried to accommodate new demands and higher costs. [...]]]></description>
