Healthcare Reform in Two States

Description

Part I: The world is becoming smaller and smaller and when companies look to expand they often look outside their original footprint. Rasmussen Healthcare Systems is looking to expand their system to another state. To help advise Rasmussen on this decision, you will write 4-5 pages that compare and contrast the healthcare reform policies of the state where you reside and another state of your choice. Please keep in mind the position and facility you selected. Make sure to include the following:

1. Discuss the purpose of each state’s reform.
2. Describe a minimum of three specific examples of similarities and differences in healthcare reform policies in the two states.
3. Discuss in detail some of the ethical issues and moral disputes in each state’s reform.
4. Discuss your recommendation on whether Rasmussen Healthcare Systems should expand to the second state.
5. This portion of your assignment will require you to research and examine information from various sources. Use a minimum of five credible sources for your paper, with three being an academic source from the Rasmussen College Online Library (don’t forget to include in-text citations throughout your paper with paraphrasing or quoting).
6. Make sure to include your APA formatted reference page.

THIS IS A REPLY TO ANOTHER STUDENTS

            The Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare is working, maybe not perfectly by any means, but working enough that the enrollees have coverage.  The Trump administration campaigned that it would repeal and replace Obamacare from day one in office.  Obamacare is still standing to date, partly because the most telling insight is the realization that policy makers are not necessarily focused on how real people will be affected by changes to Obamacare but rather on how the changes will affect their own re-election chances. (Milstead, J.A & Short, N.M. 2019).  How else can one explain the fact that a party campaigns on a very specific policy, and then, after gaining control of the White House, Senate, and House struggle to deliver it?  

Just like Dr. Krebs reminded us that the number one job of a legislator is to be re-elected, it is very true as we know that politicians are very skillful, none is ready to give up losing their elections for Obamacare.  It is taking a long time to repeal and replace Obamacare because it is political.  Many Republicans and their constituents like certain parts of the Health care, for example, young adults staying on their parents’ insurance plan until 26. (Kaiser Health News).  These young adults have a voice in elections as well and the legislators are very aware of it.  Election results do matter but it is very important to know that the threat of an upcoming election affects what policymakers are willing to do.  If the policymakers view their votes to be compromised, it will definitely affect their decisions or positions in national policies.     

Note: Please be sure to tell us who your employer is.  If you are not currently working, please answer the question based on a prior job.  If you have never worked, please answer the question based on an organization that is familiar to you such as a pharmacy or a doctor’s office.

Revenues (Inflows)

1. Does the organization that you work for receive revenue after services are delivered or before?  Why do you think this is?
2. What grouping of revenue do you believe the organization that you work for uses (service line, revenue source, etc.)?  Why do you think they chose this grouping?  Is this a good choice or do you think there is a better
   option?
