Module 2 Current health policy

For the Final Paper in this course, you are asked to select a current health policy. This policy can be local, state, or federal. You will submit the topic at the end of Module 2 for instructor approval.

You will need to develop the following topics in your final paper:

 Provide a clear explanation of the policy/issue. Who are the key and relevant stakeholders?  What are some of the socio-political and/or socio-economic forces that may have shaped this policy?  What are the implications of this policy from the varied viewpoints?  To what degree does this policy address fairness and efficiency within the healthcare system? Address the possible changes and amendments that would help to resolve these issues.  Anticipate and address counterarguments and challenges to the changes and amendments your propose

In your paper, you will take a position on the issue and defend it with support from what you have learned in the class, obtained from reliable sources in the library, and collected the web.

Your paper should be no more than 12-15 pages, double-spaced in length. Be sure to include your name and class number and class title on the first page of your paper. Consult with our Excelsior Library librarians for assistance if you need help in searching the topic. The final paper should be formatted APA style and have all supporting

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
