Why is it important for health care professionals to understand the law pertaining to governmental agencies?

Regulation plays a major role in the health care industry and health care insurance coverage. The various regulatory bodies protect the public from a number of health risks and provide numerous programs for public health and welfare.  Together, these regulatory agencies protect and regulate public health at every level.  Health care regulations are developed and implemented not only by all levels of government (federal, state and local) but by private organizations as well.
