Abstract

This brief essay studied the uninsured and the health care disparities they face. Essential Affordable Care Act provisions and their effects were studied. Critical factors affecting the health care of the uninsured were identified; these included race, ethnicity, income, socioeconomic status, culture, language and income. Several research studies concluded that while access to health care has improved, the quality of this care has not improved for the uninsured. Although the number of uninsured has been reduced dramatically since 2010, insurance costs continue to increase significantly. Failure of states to expand Medicaid benefits has limited uninsured patients’ health care options. ...

As a representative of my department, it would be my initial duty to oversee those who could possibly lose access to healthcare, or not seek it when concerning the repeal of ACA. With the increase of potential debt, aggressive collection tactics, and full exposure to all health costs, individuals with serious illnesses once covered by various ACA provisions will be left with nothing. In particular, individuals with preexisting conditions will often be uninsured entirely, and will often be individuals in need of care the most often. They may also qualify as a group in need of the highest quality ...

The Fallacy of Microfinance Microfinance has been billed by many as a solution to the persistent problem of poverty. This is as result of the fact that it has been hailed to create and expand micro-enterprises and in the process improving the socio-economic situations of those that own the micro-enterprises, who generally tend to be women. However, according to Banerjee, Duflo, Glennerster, & Kinnan (2014), microfinance does not necessarily lead to people rising out of poverty. The argument held by Banerjee, Duflo, Glennerster, & Kinnan (2014) gives credence to the apprehensions some have had about the romanticized stories on microfinance. I ...

ABSTRACT

One of the interesting unique aspects of the American legal system is that it really is two systems, namely one at the federal level and one at the state level.

Conversely, the state legal system focuses on matters state specific matters such as education and healthcare.

Managed care models are strategies put in place to safeguard the functions and activities of the managed care facilities within a country.

As a result, it helps in clarifying the main reason behind the differences in the control of the managed care models. In ...

Introduction

In the 1800’s the European countries undertook an initiative to colonize different countries across the globe. The American states were not left behind in this quest by the European nations and as a result, their eagerness to colonize the American states faced opposition.

It is important to note that the main reason for the emergence of this ...

ASC 320 provides the primary guidelines for accounting and reporting of special investments in marketable securities and debts. On the other hand, IFRS 9 guides accountants in recognizing, derecognizing, and measuring of all financial assets and liabilities.

Health Care is a Right, not a Privilege

Public policies create a significant difference in the healthcare industry by creating equity and promoting the right to care (Leppo, Ollila, Peña, Wismar, and Cook, 2013). The federal government is keen to implement policies that enforce the provision of healthcare services to all citizens. For instance, the establishment and implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) aim at improving the access of medical services. Under the ACA, the citizens have an obligation of paying health insurance premiums. ...

The major goal of the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) of 1989 was to encourage private-sector employees to report the misconduct of a manager or other top executives.

Under this statute, any disclosure of information will be protected if there is sufficient ground to justify that the whistleblower had a ‘reasonable belief’ that the information was true (Whitaker, 2007). A major component of this law is that whistleblowers are required to present sufficient evidences (documents and other) to justify their claims while ...

Statements made prior to making a contract, as a rule, are not binding for the parties.
