During the 1800s, and well into the 1900s, families took care of their own members whenever possible. Several generations lived together, with the younger generation taking care of the older and vice versa. Post 1900s, the joint family system started disintegrating.

What factors led to disintegration of the joint family system?

What has been the impact of this disintegration on aging people and long-term care?

Did disintegration have any benefits for health service organizations? Why or why not?

At the same time this shift occurred in the family structure, health care organizations were experiencing continuous changes in their operating styles. The long-term care system took some time to catch up with the changing nature of businesses. In the 1990s and early 2000s, long-term care was seen to experience several turbulent changes, particularly related to its operations, management, and structure. Research the South University Online Library and the Internet to find information on the changes in the long-term care system in the United States and respond to the following questions:

How have the operations, management, and structural changes of the 1990s and early 2000s impacted the long-term care system today?

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the present long-term care system in the United States?

The U.S government wants to determine whether immigrants should be tested for a contagious disease, and it is planning to base this decision on financial considerations. Assume that each immigrants who is allowed to enter the United States and has the disease costs the country $100,000. Also, assume that each immigrants who is allowed to enter the United States and does not have the disease will contribute $10,000 to the national economy. Finally, assume that x percent of all potential immigrants have the disease. The U.S government can choose to admit all immigrants, or test immigrants have the disease before determining whether they should be admitted. It costs T dollars to test a person for the disease, and the test result is either positive or negative. A person who does not have the always tests negative. However, 10% of all people who do have the disease test negative. The government’s goal is to maximize the expected net financial benefits per potential immigrant.

a. If x=5, what is the largest value of T at which the U.S government will choose to test potential immigrants for the disease?

b. How does your answer to the question in part a if x increases to 10?

c. If x=5 and T=$500, what is the government’s optimal strategy?

The Origins of Judicial Review in the United States

The power of judicial review is not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution (although many constitutional scholars believe that the founders intended the judiciary to have this power). The United States Supreme Court explicitly established this power in 1803 in the case Marbury v. Madison. In that decision, the Court stated, “It is emphatically the province [authority] and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is…. If two laws conflict with each other, the courts must decide on the operation of each…. [I]f both [a] law and the Constitution apply to a particular case, … the Court must determine which of these conflicting rules governs the case. This is of the very essence of judicial duty.” Since the Marbury v. Madison decision, the power of judicial review has remained unchallenged. Today, this power is exercised by both federal and state courts.

Judicial Review

As the branch of government entrusted with interpreting the laws, the judiciary can decide, among other things, whether the laws or actions of the other two branches are constitutional. The process for making such a determination is known as judicial review. The power of judicial review enables the judicial branch to act as a check on the other two branches of government, in line with the system of checks and balances established by the U.S. Constitution.

Trends are heavily informed by local, state, and federal health care legislation. Write a 750-1,000 word paper that evaluates the effect of local, state, and federal health care legislation within organizations by identifying trends. Be sure to address the following: 1.Describe general trends in health care legislation over the past 5 years. 2.Describe a specific piece of legislation occurring within this timeframe across the United States. Discuss how it governs a long trending health care concern. What have been the motivating factors that have influenced this particular legislation? 3.Discuss the effects of the trending legislation on health care overall in the United States. 4.Describe how the selected legislation effects one type of health care setting (transitional care, hospital, primary care, home care, primary care). 5.Identify changes in your selected health care setting that have occurred during this time in order to meet the requirements or needs of this legislative trend. 6.Discuss how stakeholders (patients, underserved populations, health care providers, staff, etc.) have been affected by the trending legislation. Please include 5 sourses to your answers.

EXERCISE 2

The following table contains information about top 5 causes of death in the United States in 2014, both overall (all age categories) and 15-24 years old group. Based on information in Table 1., construct two pie graphs (one for overall, one for 15-24 age group), showing percentages for each cause of death. Given current technology, pie charts are almost always generated by computer rather than drawn by hand. For the purpose of this assignment you can use either computer program (i.e. Excel, SPSS) or draw pie charts by hand (each pie chart is worth 15 points).
