This article discusses the decision by the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Chicago to severely limit uncompensated care as of May 1986. Pressured by increasing market forces, the VNA unsuccessfully struggled to maintain its historical mission of service to indigent clients. As VNAs throughout the entire U.S. face financial instability, public sector agencies must be funded to assume responsibility for the care of the medically indigent.
本文讨论了芝加哥访视护士协会（VNA）自1986年5月起大幅限制无偿护理的决定。在不断增强的市场力量的压力下，VNA努力维持其为贫困客户服务的历史使命，但未获成功。由于全美国的访视护士协会都面临财务不稳定的状况，必须为公共部门机构提供资金，以便由它们承担起照顾医疗贫困者的责任。
