EBSCO Guided Search

What you need to do is my search for parts 1 and 2 and then do your search for 3 and 4. Part 3 you do in Academic Search Ultimate and then for Part 4 you add other EBSCO databases and do your search again. For Part 5 you assembly a bibliography of 10 articles. You need to evaluate 4 of the articles using the 3 R method.

THERE ARE 5 Parts to this assignment.

How did the current and previous presidents handle the problem? What would you do differently?

Discussion Post 1 Health Policy USA

Must NOT BE LONGER THAN 450 words and have 3 APA references

Rather than focus on the treatment of chronic disease, policies that influence population health tend to emphasize prevention and wellness; the reduction or elimination of waste and the eradication of health disparities based on race, ethnicity, language, income, gender, sexual orientation, disability and other factors. The reasoning is that good health belongs to the whole, not just an individual. (New York State Dept. of Health, n.d.)

Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen has a stake in healthcare policy decisions. Hence, it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agendas. It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items.

Consider a topic (mental health, HIV, opioid epidemic, pandemics, obesity, prescription drug prices, or many others) that rises to the presidential level. How did the current and previous presidents handle the problem? What would you do differently?
