Description

Part 1Science: Describe a public healthcare program at the state or federal level, its intended population and how that program is funded.   Part 2 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. Figure 3     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.
