Part I: Description of the State of the U.S. Economy
1. Describe the state of the U.S. Economy for the years between 2012 and now in terms of macroeconomic measures discussed in the course (GDP, unemployment, and inflation rates).

Select ONE of these macroeconomic measures to write about. Use data from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), http://www.recovery.gov, and other government agencies and departments, such as Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics), Department of Commerce (Bureau of Economic Analysis), etc.

2. As you will notice from your data analysis, the economy passes through different phases and turns.

Discuss the implications of a given state (for example, recession) in terms households, businesses, and the entire society. Share your thoughts as to why it is important for you to understand the different states through which the economy passes.

Share personal examples and experiences. While Covid-19 has been a major disrupt-or of the economy, it should not form the major basis for your paper, so many other things have taken place since 2012.

Part II: Analysis of Economic Policies
1. In your analysis of the macroeconomic data, you will notice that the U.S. economy passed through a major recession. Based on research, discuss the underlying causes of the recession.

Identify monetary and fiscal policies implemented by the Federal Reserve and the government to deal with the recession.

2. Evaluate the expected and actual effects of each policy. Your response needs to include the name of the policy, description of the policy, the year it is implemented, and discussion of expected and actual outcomes in terms of the GDP, unemployment, and inflation rates.

3. After close observation of the different perspectives discussed in the course, share your position on the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies to deal with recession or inflation.

4. As part of the economy, each of us will be affected by the state of the economy and the actions policy makers take to stabilize or advance it. Conclude by sharing why understanding these actions and outcomes matter to you as an individual who is part of the economic system.

How do they affect the society/economy? What could be done differently? Share personal examples and experiences

For a health care organization of your choice (real or hypothetical), describe the type of organization, and determine the payer mix of patients served (percentage of Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, managed care, and private pay).
Take into consideration that reimbursement can be affected by the claims process, out-of-network payments, denials, audits, and legislation.
Assess the differences in health care budgeting as a result of these potential changes in the payer mix and payment methodologies as an outcome of the Affordable Care Act.
Take into consideration that while more patients may have insurance coverage, the out-of-pocket expenses will continue to create a potential uncollectable liability.
Evaluate how you would strategize to keep a balanced budget for all 12 months in a year using a flexible budget rather than a static budget, and provide rationale and justification.
The body of the resultant paper should be 5–7 pages and include at least 5 relevant academic or professional references published in the past 5 years.
