Scenario

The United States continues to experience challenges with respect to health reform. There is considerable agreement on the need for health reform; however, there is an appreciable divide with respect to how to best achieve reform. Discussions on strategies for reform include a repeal of current legislation (the ACA), the implementation of a universal plan, and various “fixes” to the ACA.

Many would suggest that a repeal of the current system would be most appropriate, while others support efforts to “fix” the current ACA. The health organization you work for has asked you to develop a comprehensive proposal for healthcare reform.

The U.S. expends more of its Gross Domestic Product on healthcare than any other developed nation. However, the superior amount of spending has not resulted in superior outcomes when compared to other countries. In addition to higher costs, the U.S. is the only developed country that does not offer universal health to its citizens. There has been a significant amount of discourse with respect to the pros and cons of universal coverage. Those who oppose universal coverage often refer to the Canadian, single-payer system and its challenges, such as high tax liabilities for citizens, its long wait times, and the perception of the single payer system as socialized medicine. However, those in favor of universal coverage argue that the single payer system is not socialized medicine and its costs relative to the current system in the U.S. is more cost effective. Moreover, the single payer system is only one form of universal coverage. Countries that consistently rank high in terms of positive health outcomes often employ a multi-payer universal system as opposed to a single-payer system.

Instructions

You will analyze the current literature on the health system in the U.S. Your final project will include a paper, a voiceover PowerPoint presentation, and an infographic of your proposed solution. Possible solutions include a single payer universal plan, a multi-payer universal plan, a potential enhancement to the ACA such as adding a public option, Medicare for all, or a complete repeal of the current law.

The three (3) deliverables are:

1. A paper that includes the challenges facing the U.S. in terms of balancing the iron triangle of health – Costs, Access, and Quality. Please address the following:
2. An examination of current policy
3. A discussion of whether healthcare should be considered a right or a privilege
4. A discussion of the role of special interest groups on health reform
5. Articulate the significance of the involvement the Congressional Budget Office in determining the cost effectiveness of reform
6. Explain the importance of considering existing privacy laws in reform efforts
7. Describe and justify your potential solution to current challenges facing the U.S., including resource allocation
8. A voiceover PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the major challenges facing the U.S. in terms of balancing the iron triangle of health, a comparison of various possible solutions, and your proposed solutions.
9. An infographic that outlines your final proposed solution to the current challenges facing the U.S. in terms of balancing the iron triangle of health.

Task #4 Instructions Review Task #3 for an overview of the topics if needed, but you should be able to use your outline from Task #3 as your guide for writing this assignment. In your analysis, focus on five of the literary devices listed below:Tone DictionImageryComparisons (Simile and metaphor)Other figures of speech (hyperbole, personification, pun)IronySymbolismAllusionSound (alliteration, rhyme)FormFor the five areas you choose, identify each device in the poem you selected and discuss in detail how each affects the poem’s overall meaning.  For example, if you choose to talk about comparisons, then you need to identify at least one simile or metaphor in the poem and explain how the simile or metaphor contributes to the meaning of the poem.  Suppose a poem entitled “Dating Woes” contains the metaphor “George is a hog”; you would explain how this metaphor implies that George is sloppy and does not take care of himself or his surroundings, which in turn serves to support the poem’s overall idea that sloppy people have trouble finding dates. Do NOT pick a device that is missing from the poem!  For instance, if the poem does not contain allusions, then you should not choose this area. Complete your work in a .doc or .docx file. At the top of the page, give a header as follows:Student name (Your name here)(Instructor’s name here)ENG 102Date (put the actual date here)Then center the title of the poem and its corresponding page number.  Number #1-5, listing one literary device beside each number.  Follow by giving your identification and discussion.  See the example below:1. Comparison–“Dating Woes” contains many similes and metaphors.  One metaphor is “George is a hog.”  This metaphor implies that George’s characteristics resemble those of a pig.  He is sloppy in appearance and in surroundings.  A pig relishes in a mud bath, so George must not be bothered by a lack of cleanliness.  The metaphor supports the overall message of the poem by indicating that sloppiness is one deterrent to finding a date.    All papers must be formatted according to these guidelines.Submit your paper for Task #4 here.

1. In cell H9 create a VLOOKUP to indicate the description Expensive for pups priced $2,000 or more, Moderate for pups priced $1,000 or more but below $2,000, Good Deal for pups priced $500 or more but less than $1,000 and Cheap for all pups priced less than $500. Begin the lookup table in cell E1. Copy the VLOOKUP in cell H9 to cells H10:H202.

2. In cell I9 create a Nested IF to duplicate the results of #1 above. Copy the nested If in cell I9 to cells I10:I202. 

3. Sort the database by AKC Group and within AKC Group by Breed and within Breed by Color (all ascending order). Create a Subtotal report showing the average price by AKC Group and the total number of pups available for each dog breed. Change to outline level 3. Right-mouse click on the Sheet 1 worksheet tab. Select “Move or Copy” and check mark “Create a copy” and click on (move to end). Name the newly created worksheet tab, “Subtotal.”  Return to Sheet1 and remove the subtotal report by clicking on the “Remove All” button in the Data/Subtotal menu.

4. Use the “unique records only” feature of the Advanced Filter to indicate the unique varieties of dog colors and breeds. Start the unique dog breeds in K1 and the unique dog colors in M1. Place the unique dog breed and dog color combinations starting in cell O1. (You will have to do three separate Unique Advanced Filters.)

 

5. Note that none of the filters in #4 require a criterion. To demonstrate a Unique Filter with a Criteria output the unique breeds with a price of $2,500 or more. Start your criteria in R1. Start your output in R4. Output just the Breed names that meet the criteria. (Check figure: 8)

6. Insert a new worksheet. On Sheet 3, create a one variable data table that indicates the total number of pups available for each breed and the average price for each breed. (Copy/paste the Unique dog breeds extracted in #4.) Place the northwest corner of the table in cell A5. Begin the required criteria range in cell A1.

7. Insert a new worksheet. On Sheet 4, create a two variable data table that indicates the total number of pups available by dog breed and by dog color. (Use the unique dog breeds & unique colors extracted in #4. Use the copy & paste special / transpose to copy vertical text as horizontal text.) Place the northwest corner of the table in cell A5. Begin the required criteria range in cell A1.

8. Turn off the display of zeroes in Sheet 4. File ribbon / Excel Options/Advanced (scroll down to Display Options for this Worksheet: Sheet 4) Remove the check mark in front of: Show a zero in cells that have a zero value. 

9. Create a pivot table that indicates the total number of pups available by breed and the average price for each breed. Place the northwest corner of the pivot table in cell E4 on Sheet 3. 

10. Create a pivot table that indicates the total number of pups available by dog breed and by dog color. Place the pivot table as a new worksheet. 

11. Make the print settings changes so that rows 7 & 8 will appear at the top of each page if you were to print.A7:I202 (fit-to-3 pages tall). Put your name in the Headers and all sheets and submit your file (instructor’s flash drive or Blackboard).
