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. ...

The paper on Comparative Politics by Maioni, A. (1997, pp. 411-431) makes a comparison between the evolution of the health care systems in two neighboring countries – Canada and the U.S.A. The crux of the argument and facts presented are based on the differences in the governance and political systems of the two countries. The paper tends to argue the facts around the post-depression period of the 1930s and the 1940s where both the countries faced different paths with regard to health care ...

The rise in imprisonment in America over the past years has risen at an alarming rate. The United States of America prison population has increased from about three hundred thousand inmates in the 1970’s to over one million inmates in recent years. Statistics show that America has the highest number of inmates in the world (Pfaff 173).The so-called “war on drugs ” which attracted long prison sentences has acted as a major factor contributing to the increase in the prison population (Golembeski 1702). Between the years 2003 and 2010, the prison population rate in the state of Georgia ...

Breaking Barriers: Towards High Quality, Effective and Safe Health Care

Breaking Barriers Towards High Quality, Effective and Safe Health Care With more than 3 million in numbers, nurses comprise the largest section of health care professionals in the US. They spend a huge portion of their time to deliver healthcare services which makes them a viable force in ensuring and safety of care. A careful examination of the nurses’ capacity to support the health reform is essential, especially with the passage of laws such as the Affordable Care Act, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, among others, which aim to improve the design, financing, and delivery of health services (Sochalski ...

Burden of Deep Vein Thrombosis Deep vein thrombosis is a severe preventable cause of morbidity-mortality around the globe. This disease is so silent hence difficult in diagnosing it and so it is seen as a significant challenge regarding diagnosis. The Little level of clinical suspicion and higher incidence and fatality makes deep vein thrombosis a grave concern to the world (Jaff, et al, 2011). In the United States, 1 to 2 in every 1,000 people is likely to be affect by deep vein thrombosis annually. There is also an estimation that up to 100,000 Americans scampers to ...

On March 23, 2010, Congress endorsed The Affordable Care Act [ACA], otherwise dubbed The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act [PPACA], into legislation as a measure to reform the nation’s healthcare system (Hill 445). The new health care statute encompassed improvements to “appropriate, reasonable, or essential” health benefits and measures to regulate health costs through rules and regulations for the health care industry and insurance companies (Hill 445-446). The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which includes Fiscal Responsibility Acts and Student Aid, also went into the amendment of the PPACA. Hence, the “ObamaCare” is the ...

Abstract

The prison is being used since the people started to live in a society. It is being the necessity to obtain control over the group of people to protect the crimes by punishing the criminals. The history of jails in the US will date back to the British ruling period while it was first introduced to punish the criminals. The jails were not in a good shape on that time that caused the death of many prisoners in health issues. The jails are being reformed day by day and upgraded to the prison system that we witness in the ...

Introduction

The European Union is the result of the flow of economic integration in the world. It was created in 1958 and became a powerful economic group. Within the framework of the Union, the benefits of mutual trade are established, the general economic policy is carried out, and restrictions on the movement of goods, capital, and labor are constantly removed (Krugman, Obstfeld, and Melitz, 2014). The creation of the EU was due primarily to the fact that in Western Europe after the Second World War, the contradiction between the international character of modern production and the narrow national and state ...

US Foreign Policy and Latin America During the Cold War

The Alliance for progress was a multi billion dollar aid program that was devised by the Kennedy administration to foster economic relations with Latin America and also thwart the growth of communism in the region in the aftermath of the cold war. The Alliance for Progress was a result of the cold war between the USSR and the US, the Cuban revolution and the US fear that communism could take root in a region that was poor, unstable and economically underdeveloped. Latin America was largely colonized by the Europeans and the relation between the US and the continent was ...

Abstract

Numerous attempts to reform health care in the United States on the federal level have been made since the 1930s, but differences between each state represent a significant barrier to every previous federal health care reform. In 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law, but the current implementation and effects of the law are not the same across different states. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the effects of the health care reform in California and Florida, as well as the positions of the two states. It was found that the insurance ...

What are the determinants of the Deadweight Loss?

Introduction The deadweight problem happens when the government through an attempt to increase their earnings from the goods in a country increases the taxation on them. It happens when they impose a certain amount of tax on certain commodities in the market and the end consumer as well as the producer in charge of the production process forced to lose the whole or part of their surplus. The loss they both suffer is the deadweight loss. The government has the right to earn some form of income from the trade activities within their borders. However, they also need to ...

The Founding of Communism

Communism started during the 1840s, the period when different ideologies arose in Germany. It was founded by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who respectively excelled in their fields; politics and sociology (History World). The combination of these two individuals became so influential that their ideologies stood out among the several philosophies and ideas during that period. With Marx’s theories, and Engels’ experience in the materialistic world, they gave life to a new economic and political idealism, which received a hostile welcoming from the feudalist society (Ollman). This is because, the feudalist society was dominated by the bourgeoisie, whose ...

Court have overtime been at the forefront of provision of justice for those who have been accused and this is achieved through compensation through various remedies. However, in certain instances, the cases that are brought to courts actually have no merit and is basically a waste of the courts time and such cases are referred to as frivolous law suits. Therefore, the thesis of this research is to examine whether the concept of frivolous law suit is accurate or a mere fallacy. First and foremost, it is worth noting that for any person to be held liable for any ...

Introduction

Milton Friedman was a renowned economist and a reputable advisor of the United President Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher who was a Conservative British Prime Minister. Friedman developed an influential and controversial manifesto on the role of the government in a free society on his work titled Capitalism and Freedom. His fundamental objective was to promote the laissez-faire economic policy by often disapproving the interventionist policies held by the government and their cost in economic efficiency and personal freedom within and outside the United States. It is with this light that Friedman provide his view on the significance of ...

Medicaid is one of the major funding agencies for healthcare in the US which delivers health coverage to people with low incomes (Medicaid, n.d.). The Medicaid program was redesigned as per the instructions of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on January 5, 2011 to address the deficit of budget (Department of Health, n.d.-b). A team was crafted in order to redesign the Medicaid program by the governor with the objective of developing a budget proposal for the first year and develop a reform plan. The key stakeholders of Medicaid were engaged to figure out the possible changes in the way ...

Introduction

President Obama enacted the Affordable Care Act as a United States Federal statute in 2010. Together with the amendment to the reconciliation bill, it promised to expand health insurance to all citizens at a reasonable cost. PPACA defines the health care as neither the right nor privilege of people but it states that citizens, however, do have a right to “affordable” healthcare, which it tries to achieve through a partnership between the market and the government. The ACA is a result of an evolution of government-funded plans such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as statutes such as HIPAA, ...

Significant increases in the national debt, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, and its effect on the economy An increase in national budget, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, will result in a deficit, or more spending with less national input. Repercussions for a budget deficit can mean more borrowings for the national government from the private sector, such as the selling of bonds or gilts to the private sector. The debate over the budget deficit has two opposing views. The first one is that the deficit is destructive to the ...

China's leading role on the world market is undeniable. Over the years, Chinese reforms transformed this country from a backward agrarian one into a leading industrial power, by industry of which the stability of many countries depends on. Another proof was the fact that since 2010, China has become the second largest economy in the world after the US, ahead of Japan, which had occupied this position for 42 years (Greenaway & Milner, 2010, p. 20). Today, China is the largest consumer, producer and exporter in the world. China encourages the discovery of new commercial and industrial enterprises, the implementation ...

The rule of law requires a fair access to justice for England and Wales as well as any other sovereign country with a governing constitution. The route towards delivering equitable access to justice to all citizens requires enrolment of all justice department stakeholders as well as other interested parties. For instance, each of the arms of the government has their own responsibilities that need execution to the best of their ability in order to ensure equal justice to all. In this case, each arm of the government is it the legislature, executive, or judiciary should not intimidate or influence ...

The establishment of the modern national education system in Malaysia is one of the major effects of the post-colonial development within the nation (Zohar, 2004). During the British colonial rule in Malaysia, education system could be considered socially and academically narrow since it did not confine multicultural dynamics of the Malaysian society as well as the demographics of the nation. After the colonial period in the 1950s, the education system reform was implemented on the nation and segregated linguistic ethnic streams which comprise their population. The period of the end of the colonial rule in Malaysia also marks the ...

Institutionalization of Chinese politics since Deng Xiaoping:

The Chinese state and its relationship to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been by far the most significant factor in determining the level of institutionalization of Chinese politics. Chinese politics was highly shaped during the revolutionary and Maoist periods by the power of the CCP. The CCP’s role in the revolution and its creation of a particular state form highly influenced the state form. The Chinese state under Mao was revolutionary inasmuch as it was primarily focused on class struggle as its primary role. This changed after Mao’s death and the rise of Deng Xiaoping and ...

There is a lot of debate in the government and scholarly sphere when it comes to when to and how to incarcerate people. A subdivision of that argument comes down to the actual housing that a prisoner is kept in while they are in prison. One method that is used for inmates who commit certain acts, either inside of or outside of prison, is solitary confinement. While this is deemed to be a way to prevent a prisoner from being a danger to others or even himself/herself while in prison, there are many that say that solitary confinement for ...

There are several movements in healthcare reform in the USA that promote the transition from disease-oriented healthcare to a culture of wellness: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Culture of Health initiative of the Robert Wood Foundation, and the increased focus on person-centered and fundamental care. These three movements respectively drive healthcare reform on the political, community, and nursing practice levels. The ACA extended health insurance and thus improved access to healthcare for at least an additional 50 million Americans who were previously uninsured (Nardin, Zallman, Sayah, & McCormick, 2016). Sections 4103 and 4104 of the act ...

Incarceration appears to be one of the most popular forms of punishment for committing crime or other offences. The largest number of prison population is in the United States. According to a study, performed in 2013 by Lauren E. Glaze and Danielle Kaeble, statisticians by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), about two million adults were incarcerated and others less than five million were under parole or probation. Totally 6 899 000 adult individuals were under the supervision of Criminal Justice System (prisons, jails, parole, probation) in 2013. (Glaze, L., Kaeble, D., 2013) With the establishment of prisons, ...

The concept of political development seems to be quite a simple one on its face. Without investigating the role of the state too deeply, it is clear to see that in general, there are distinctions between the developmental levels of states around the world; while poverty exists in every nation, there are some that are much more stricken with the problem than others. In addition, relative levels of poverty within a nation is a scalable phenomenon—that is, levels of poverty and the very meaning of poverty can change across different political landscapes around the world. The conceptualisation of ...

Chapter 2

Literature review Russia has a very large number of hospitals, physicians, and health care workers as compared to any other country in the world. In spite of this, the medical care fraternity has failed to offer standard and acceptable health care services to its people. Russia has faced a health care system crisis for an extended period since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Significant transformation in the social, economic, and political environment has adversely affected the health care system (Britnell, 2015). The poor health care system in Russia has been precipitated by the lack of medical and technical ...

Introduction

The healthcare system in Australia is termed as one of the most successful in the world when it comes to the delivery of good healthcare. Additionally, the health outcomes, as well as the control of costs by the system, are remarkably effective as stated by Hall (2015). Such achievements have however been achieved through the interaction of the public and private financial backing, public and private provision of services, and the sharing of key duties between the federal as well as the state governments (Hall, 2015). In the US, no single system of health insurance covers the nation. Health ...

Economic inequality Between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians

Introduction Thought the last century, the subject of inequality has come to the fore. It seems that social, economic, racial, ethnic disparity became ubiquitous under the circumstances of economic and technical progress. While some countries take a course of rapid development, others remain behind. It happens not only on the political level but also within the country on the social scale. The emergence of perceptible economic inequality can now be observed in developed countries, and Australia is not an exclusion. Historically, economic inequality strengthened disparities of income and living standards of the individual layers of the population, increased the ...

Health policy entails the goals and decisions made so as to achieve the various health care objectives in the society. It just stipulates the future vision and establishes the expected roles of the people concerned in the health matters in the society. Health care in America has come a long way. In the recent past, health care was quite an expensive entity, but leaders have put in place measures to ensure that proper health services are accessible to every citizen. For instance, there is the Affordable care Act or else known as Obamacare, which was enacted into law by ...

Lord Falconer’s argument is a response to accusations about his being misogynistic, built on the premise that his opposition to the appointment of Liz Truss as lord chancellor is about her qualifications. He dismisses accusations that Chris Grayling and Michael Gove were not attacked at their appointments by indicating that Grayling’s subsequent behaviour and actions testifies to the fact that he was not qualified to defend the law, should not have been appointed based on the Constitutional Reform Act of 2005, which states in section 2 that persons in consideration for appointment to that office must appear ...

International Human Rights Law and Prisons in Africa

Term Paper 4500 words

Introduction

The International Centre for Prison Studies’ World Prison Brief, in its report suggested that over 10 million individuals are formally incarcerated in prison and correctional facilities around the world. According to the same Brief, even more are held in either military facilities where they are detained or in security or police facilities without any specific legal process underway. There are three categories that the United States’ (U.S). Government has for humanitarian and human rights concerns as they relate to these individuals who are housed in a detention facility that is; 1. unsafe in terms of ...

Financial desperation is among the main factors that drive individuals, mostly women, to venture into prostitution as a way of making ends meet. The moral dilemma depicted by the woman who is deserted by her husband, friends, and relatives and has a little kid to feed generates the need for research into the moral and ethical issues involved in such scenario under different frameworks. There exist various groups that have called for tougher legislations focused on protecting cash trapped women who are going out there to support their families. However, there is a need to provide such women with ...

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was incorporated in the year 2010 in order to transform the healthcare services in such manner that it enhances the healthcare outcomes in the country. It is also focused on reducing the cost of healthcare while ensuring that the healthcare services are made available by means of effective availability and distribution. The quality of healthcare system has been objectified to be increased under the prevalence of ACA, whereas the rate of uninsured citizens is also emphasized so that the effective distribution of the healthcare services can be implied (Gable, 2011). The population in the ...

Introduction

The Constitution Act of 1982, which introduced some of the most important changes to the Canadian Constitution since it came into force in 1867; has and continued to play a significant role in changing the framework of Canadian politics (CDOJ, 2016). These changes, on the whole, have had a substantially positive effect on the Canadian political community. In order to understand the benefits of Canadian constitutional reform on the political community, one must first understand how the Constitution had arranged, regulated, and influenced Canadian politics in the past. The Canadian Constitution of 1867 had a number of characteristics that ...

Response to Daryle Ryan

I agree with Ryan when he says that the best approach to helping drug offenders to reform is not locking them up in large institutions but rather in small units. For, when in small facilities, they are more likely to get individualized attention and supervision from the prison officers. This way, their rehabilitation process will be hastened and hence they will also feel that there is concern about their reentry back into the society. Hence, as Schmalleger (2016) notes, there has to be a change in management and administration of these institutions if the inmates are to stand a ...

Proposal for Criminal Justice and Policing Reform for the Charles Koch Foundation

Introduction

The world as we know it cannot exist without justice and policing bodies. This is because we are all genetically flawed to do some bad things at one time or the other, in varying intensity. Our crimes may range from over speeding, theft to some as may be as bad as causing serious harm to other people or even death. This is why since time in memorial the world has always had a justice and policing system, varying upon different locations. However, as much as these systems ...

Mission

The mission of the program is to rehabilitate former personnel of an armed forces division. The program requires the perpetrator to undergo a lengthy process between six to twenty-four months. During this time, the perpetrator will pay for lab services and any other additional clinical testing. The goal is to provide effective assistance and enabling offenders to rejoin society successfully. This is one way to arrest recidivism among repeat offenders who might yield to disciplinary conditions and reform (Tarrant County, 2016).

Introduction

The United States of America, a country so poetically nicknamed to be “a melting pot” of cultures, has always been a more than desirable destination for the immigrants from all over the world. However, as the “times of economic uncertainty and social transformation have complicated American ideas about national and racial identity and have raised moral dilemmas concerning America’s obligations to immigrants from neighboring countries” (Duncan, 2007), the current U.S. immigration policy has started ...

Essay in English Law Whether it is Unfair for Criminal Justice Insiders to Sit On Jury

Most likely, it is unfair for someone who works in the criminal justice system to be chosen to participate as jury selection-members, in the British legal system. Prior to the time of the Global Recession of 2008, one report discussed several aspects of the UK-defined protocol of what a jury-system process entails. Commentary was made regarding the UK jury system historical roots, trial-jury size, secrecy, independence, and selection (“Jury Service – Crown Prosecution”). One set of erudite Australian Professors noted that the advent of social media had fundamentally caused problems, especially during trials (Wallace et al. 2011). Consider, however, the ...

Neo-liberalism encourages economic liberalism, promoting the divide between the rich and the poor; it is active today, that is why it’s neo or new. However, it has lost dominance since the 1990s because of growing awareness of, and resistance to, its negative consequences. Peters and Bourdieu point out that The World Bank, the IMF, the WTO, the Asia Development Bank (ADB), the OEC, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the GATS have promoted neoliberal policies like privatisation, free trade, lowering labour costs and shrinking public expenditure (qtd. in Jiang 13). The neoliberal policies imposed by ...

The central thesis of Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw is that price decision making should prevail over political decision making since markets have been the driving force for world events (Yergin and Stanislaw, “Commanding Heights p3 New rules of the game”). The authors are trying to prove how the once commanding economy has lost its reputation since the desire to command and manage the top levels of the economy has shrivelled. They achieve this by interviewing different major players from different nations. Keith Joseph is portrayed as Britain’s “Minister of thought” as he worked alongside Thatcher, both of ...

Thesis Paragraph

Immigration has generated interest both in political and in research worlds. The topics have been shrouded with ambiguities considering the dynamics of security and economic constraints. America not like any other nation has culturally diverse populations that coexist harmoniously curtsey of multiculturalism initiatives by the government. The integration of immigrants into the society has slowly evolved to be a complex exercise that requires security scans and consideration of socio-economical impacts of such settlement in the country. This paper identifies two stages of immigrants’ integrations, screening, and settling. The government should not perforate ...

Introduction

The proliferation of health care centers in the United States is influenced by various factors which can be broadly categorized into political, social and economic factors. Reforms in the health care system have been ongoing for many years. These reforms are concerned with providing the population with cost-effective, high-quality services which are easily accessible. The demographics are changing with people recognizing the importance of health, and the demand for health care services has influenced the growth and the rise of health care centers. Quality is a major concern in the health care sector and measurement of performance is crucial. ...

The economic and political partnership known as the European Union was established following World War II in order to foster cooperation among European nations. Today, the EU is made up of 28 member countries which all share in various economic agreements regarding their relationships with one another. The political union was established with the goal of not only promoting trade in order to reduce the likelihood for war to break out once more within Europe, but also to establish a basis by which the member nations could work with one another in order to increase their overall prosperity. The ...

Although this topic has been in the limelight for long, it is shrouded by ambiguities. It is imperative therefore that empirical enquiry be mad more often to the effects of castration on adolescents compared to mature individually. This study will quantitatively and qualitatively explore implications of holding juveniles through the mainstream legal system. I argue that the legal system should differentiate juvenile trial from the mainstream legal system. This research is relevant for parents, policy makers, educators and parents. This paper will explore physiological, emotional and physical implication of juvenile persecution in both mainstream courts and special/juvenile court. “Juveniles' ...

Healthcare ip

The developed nations or the high-income countries in the 21st century offer national and universal health care based on their health policies and laws. However, the United States of America as the superpower, on the other hand, does not have any universal health care programs to the citizens. One primary reason that explains the scenario is that the U.S. has a more expensive system of health care than the other OECD countries. The per capita expenditure that the U.S uses on health care is the highest among the OECD countries. Considering the health care expenditure of the other developed ...

Impact of Financial Crisis on the United States’ Banking Sector

The 2007-2008 crisis also referred to as the global financial crisis affected the banking sector across the world in many ways and the US banking sector was not spared. Over the short term period, the crisis affected the banking sector in several ways. Several banks incurred huge losses because of the increased default rate as people and businesses were unable to repay their loans. Mortgage defaults were very high making the banking sector to enact legislation to curb the spread of the crisis. The crisis caused the interbank lending sector to freeze with credit to consumers and businesses drying ...

Proposition 36 - Literature Review

Before 2000 The three strikes law commonly referred to as Proposition 36 has had a long history. It started in the year 1994 when the state passed Proposition 184, which allowed courts to convict a person from 25 years to lifetime if that person had two or more serious convictions for a violent felony in the past. It also qualified the courts to double a person’s penalty of a convict if had been convicted of a felony before (Farabee et al., 2004). The initial attitude was that it was mandatory in all qualifying cases. This attitude came to ...

Introduction

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 322 million people residing in the United States and nearly 4.70 percent of those who are capable of working are unemployed as of May 2016 (2016). This unemployment rate may not be alarming since 4.70 percent is a small number, but when converted, this small percentage accounts for more than 10 million unemployed individuals. Unemployment is among the alarming issues in the society and that should not be ignored. For instance, its relevance in the society makes a country's economy suffer. Unemployment causes the national output to be ...

El Salvador rightwing opposition leaders are pushing for an extension of the penalties related to abortion from a range of two to eight years to a new range that will see women face a minimum of 30 years and a maximum of 50 years. That will be through a reform of the penal code article that gives guidelines on the penalties related to abortion. The leaders are hinging their demands on the Constitution of El Salvador that gives a right to live, then extrapolate that life begins at conception. Since 1998, all forms of abortion have been banned in ...

There are many changes that have been taking place in the American landscape as it relates to correctional facilities over the last several decades (Austin and Irwin, 2012). These changes are likely to impact the way correctional facilities are dealt with. This paper highlights and discusses three likely trends in correctional facilities over the coming ten years. One of the changes that has taken place over the last several decades has been the explosion of the local, state, and federal inmate populations in America (Austin and Irwin, 2012). This has meant that both the federal and state governments have ...
