HMGT 310 6383 Health Care Policies Week 3 Discussion
Science:
In two paragraphs, describe one of the following: 1) one of the Parts of Medicare and its
funding source(s); 2) how the ACA is funded; or 3) choose one state and
describe how its Medicaid program is funded.
Application:
Consider your readings on the challenges, debates and
successes of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010.
Using Figure 3, “How a bill becomes a law,” located in the Week 1 resources,
and this weeks’ scholarly readings, select any area within the diagram to
describe any issue(s) that may have occurred during or after the process of the
ACA transforming from a bill to an actual law. For example, you can describe:
? How did “the people” influence the passage of this
healthcare bill? (What evidence supports this?)
? Describe a specific state legislature that supported or
opposed the bill?
? Describe the “Committee” in the legislative body who was
responsible for reviewing the health care bills.
? Describe one debate or amendment to the ACA bill prior to
its adoption into law.
? Were there any issues with the budgets associated with the
ACA bill.
? Were there any public hearings during the Committee
sessions? If so, provide a description.
? Describe any debates to overturn the ACA.
Be sure to cite all sources in APA format.
