Provide one example from your professional life of something that changed and something from your professional life that did NOT change. These can be examples of procedures, practices, approaches or most anything Provide one (minimum) reference/citation for each change and non-change (two total required). Then, in responses to each other (due by Sunday), challenge each other regarding change! For example, was the change due to COVID? Was the change due to culture from shifts in politics and policy?

POLITICS AND THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT

Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.

Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislator’s perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape.
