Long-Term Care Reimbursement The federal and state governments are the largest payers of health care services in the United States. The largest federal programs are the Medicare and Medicaid services. Using the information from the textbooks, lectures, and Internet resources, provide a brief summary of Medicare and Medicaid services in a Microsoft Word document. To get up-to-date information on the programs, review the information shared on the following websites: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services The Social Security Administration In your summary, include the following points: An overview of the different Medicare and Medicaid services The population covered under Medicare and Medicaid services The services of long-term care covered under Medicare and Medicaid, including the restrictions placed on them

A dispatcher suffered from multiple sclerosis, which caused, among other things, incontinence and coordination difficulties. After having bowel accidents at work, the dispatcher was subjected to ridicule, which included name-calling, the posting of unflattering drawings and pictures on the office walls, and the theft of his cane.

Has the employer created a hostile work environment? To what extent is the employer required to notify his supervisor of his belief that the work environment is hostile? [Murphy v. Beavex, Conn. D.C., No. 3:06CV01109 (DJS) (2008).]

An Internet retailer would like to investigate the relationship between the amount of time in minutes a purchaser spends on its Web site and the amount of money he or she spends on an order. The table to the right shows the data from a random sample of 12 customers. Construct a 90​% confidence interval for the regression slope. Construct a 90​% confidence interval for the slope. LCL equals nothing and UC Lequals nothing ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

Short Story: People in America often wonder why we pay higher prices for pharmaceutical drugs versus countries that have socialized medicine like Canada, Great Britain, and Sweden. Here is the dirty little secret. These socialist governments often threaten U.S. pharma firms that they will steal the patents or outright reverse engineer the drug to figure out the formula. If they do this then they will get the drugs fast and cheap while the U.S. pharma firms get stuck with the total cost of the billions they spent on research and development on these life-saving medicines. This is dirty.

These socialist governments then negotiate a deal with the U.S. pharma companies to get the drugs shipped to them at a cheaper price and Americans end up paying higher costs. In a sense, American capitalism is supporting government-run healthcare in these socialist nations.

Of course, U.S. pharma firms are not innocent angels either. They do their best to maintain the monopoly on their drugs for a full 20 years before they will allow the production of generic drugs by all pharma firms.

Many of the new drugs that have been invented over the last 30 years was because of the hard work of the U.S. government-funded National Institute of Health and the bright professors and students in our leading universities such as UC Irvine Medical Center, UC of San Francisco, etc… All of this activity is actually funded by the U.S. taxpayer.

Finally, because of the endless bureaucratic red tape and expensive testing rigor demanded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the average cost to produce a new drug is about $2.2 billion.

Essay Question: What a mess! What ideas do you have for this Oligopoly market structure to get U.S. pharma drug prices lower for the average American?     

The indicator crystal violet, (V) reacts with NaOH (OH- ) according to the equation: CV(aq) + OH- (aq) → CV- (aq) (Violet) (Colorless) The rate law for the reaction is: Rate = k2 [CV] [NaOH]. In an experiment the concentration of NaOH exceeds that of the crystal violet by a factor of 1000 so the rate law becomes Rate = k1 [CV] where k1 = k2 [NaOH] . The following data were obtained for the reaction of crystal violet with the NaOH concentration at 0.00800M. The changes in [CV] were followed by measuring the absorbance (A) of the solution. To prove that the reaction is first order in CV, plot a graph of ln(Absorbance) versus time to see if it is linear. k1 is the negative slope of this graph and k2 is equal to k1 divided by the NaOH concentration used in the experiment.

Plot a graph of ln(Absorbance) versus time and determine the slope of the line. Is the reaction first order in CV? Explain your answer.

Evaluate k1 (pseudo first order rate constant) for the reaction if k1 = -(slope)

evaluate the overall rate constant , k2, for the reaction ij k2=k1/[NaOH]

11)Two books are stacked on a table and are at rest. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy lies on top of War and Peace which sits on the table. War and Peace is much heavier than Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Draw a free body diagram for each book. >> 12)The author Tolstoy claims: “The weight of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a force that acts on War and Peace.” Is this correct? Explain your answer. >> 13)The author Douglas Adams states that there is only one force acting on Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the only reason that it does not move is because War and Peace is in the way. Is this correct? Explain your answer.

PROGRAM:
********************************************************************************
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This program takes a pre-made .txt file’s input values, and calculates the
kinetic energy wind farms produce from moving air into electrical energy.
Using 3 different formulas this program calculates the available power in the
wind, the maximum available power that can be produced, and the amount of
electricity produced by the turbines in kW. Only the diameter of the wind
blades, number of turbines, and power in kW will be printed on screen. These
3 values will also be output to a designated .txt file. The input and output
file locations can be found in the preprocessor directives section of the
program. These file locations can also be altered, allowing for other .txt
files with different input values to be used.

DESCRIPTION OF VARIABLES
NAME | TYPE | DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PW | double | Power available in wind
PWM | double | Maximum power the wind turbine can produce
PE | double | The amount of electricity (in Watts) that can be
produced for each turbine
BD | double | Diameter of blades
BR | double | Radius of blades
NT | double | Number of turbines available
A | double | Area swept by blades (m^2)
V | double | Velocity of the wind (9.5 m/s)
P | double | Density of the air (1.2754 kg/m^3)
CP | double | Benz Limit (0.48 unitless)
N | double | Combined electricity of gear box, generator, and
bearings (.33)
PI | symbolic | Constant for pi (3.14159)
i | int | Loop control variable
ndata | int | Number of record lines in input file
