Define a single-payer system and identify a country where it is used

/in /by

The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was implemented primarily to provide access to health insurance for those who would not otherwise be insured. The ACA is not designed as a single-payer healthcare system although some of its architects as well as its detractors see the ACA as steering the United States toward one.
Research the single-payer approach to healthcare delivery using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.
In a 3–4-page paper, address the following:
• Define a single-payer system and identify a country where it is used.
• Using demonstrated research findings, describe the strengths and weaknesses of a single-payer healthcare system.
• Based on your current situation in terms of healthcare coverage (insured by an employer, covered under a parent’s or spouse’s policy, receiving government benefits, uninsured, etc.), explain how a single-payer plan would affect how you receive healthcare. Do you favor a single-payer approach? Why, or why not?
• If you were to design a single-payer system, explain how you would address the challenges.
Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Biology Case Study

  1. SCIENCE:  what exactly happened genetically (do not list symptoms) to the the first generation women when they were given the DES?   EXPLAIN.

 

  1.  LEGAL :  could any of these groups  SUE?

which ones?
WHAT SHOULD the argument be if they sue?
Who would  win? WHY?
What should the settlement be (not just money)?
What group should have stepped in and stopped this? and HOW?

  1. ETHICAL: Were the doctors who gave this to women responsible for what happened to them and subsequent generations?  WHY or WHY NOT?
  2. Why did these women take an unknown substance?
  3. This has happened very few times in medical history.  Find one example that has happened recently and tell me about it
  4. A new area of genetics called EPIGENETICS (page 134) has recently given an explanation about what might have happened.  What is epigenetics and how does it fit into the case?

 

  1.  future of DES.  Do you think this could go on for many generations in the future.  EXPLAIN.

 
8 find a family  that has been affected by DES and write their story.
 

  1. the worst thing about this is it will follow generations and we aren’t sure how it will affect them. Look at the chart and make a prediction what you think happen in the future.

 
There is a chart, reading and information about all generations on page 141 but the questions above need research to answer, and I am attaching it here.

Exercise 1: Moist and dry heat
1. How are microorganisms destroyed by moist heat? By dry heat?
 
2. Are some microorganisms more resistant to heat than others? Why?
 
3. Is moist heat more effective than dry heat? Why?
 
4. Why does dry heat require higher temperatures for longer time periods to sterilize than does moist heat?
 
5. What is the relationship of time to temperature in heat sterilization? Explain.
 
 
Exercise 2: The autoclave
 
1. Define the principles of sterilization with an autoclave and with a dry heat oven.
 
2. What pressure, temperature, and time are used in routine autoclaving?
 
3. What factors determine the time period necessary for steam-pressure sterilization? Dry-heat oven sterilization?
 
4. Why is it necessary to use bacteriologic controls to monitor heat- sterilization techniques?
 
5. When running an endospore control of autoclaving technique, why is one endospore preparation incubated without heating?
