3.) Analyze the social, economic, and political environments for the times the policies were discussed or implemented.4.) And also criticize each policy for its efficiency of the time. Historical Perspective of President Bill Clinton Health Security Art. While running for president in 1992, Bill Clinton campaign largely with his platform for a reform in the United Stated health sector.
President Obama is currently in the processes of rectifying this concern of the public. Before him, President Clinton made an effort to implement a reform policy in relation to healthcare which was stopped at the door. After President Clinton, health care costs and spending have risen, and the population without insurance benefits has increased (Blendon, Brodie, Benson, Altman, & Buhr, 2006). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which President Obama has implemented, empower citizens with choices for healthcare at affordable prices. His implementation has begun to change the forces of healthcare on all forefronts.
Implementation can be challenging because legislators can be controversial and unrealistic when negotiating public health care policies. For example in 1965 when Congress passed Medicare there was fierce opposition from medical professionals but it was passed because public debate about health care for the elderly was approved and endorsed by Congress (Morone, Litman & Robins, 2008).

When taking a look at Llyod Bitzer’s Rhetorical Situation I see several similarities on his positions compared with many modern well-known rhetoricians. Bitzer explains that rhetorical discourse comes into existence as a response to a situation and without a given situation there would only be communication. With that being said, I think it s appropriate to make my first argument on how this is still apparent in today’s world. Our current government was recently focusing very closely on health care reform, because it was (and still is) an apparent problem (the situation). When the government or the president addressed this issue they were practicing the art of rhetorical discourse by addressing and reacting to the given situation.
Abstract In recent years, healthcare leaders and medical experts have expressed concerns about tough challenges ahead for healthcare and its leaders. While most agree that the issue warrants attention, consensuses divide around how to respond to the problem. The purpose of this paper is to summarize, explore and analyze Dr. Kyle Glazier’s article on Ronald G. Spaeth’s philosophies on healthcare, and examine Spaeth’s authority on business and healthcare through his education and works. His business theories in management branch from a human relations approach which accounts for much of his success in healthcare to express his methods. He states that healthcare institutions have shifted more like running a business and those young healthcare

Many people died or illnesses went without being adequately treated.Health care in early America looked nothing like today, but the issues surrounding access to healthcare are similar. The danger of diseases such as smallpox, measles, consumption, the common cold and the cost associated with its prevention or cure was at the forefront of many debates. Health epidemics forced early America to gravel with the question of the government’s role in the nation's health.
Most of the people are unacquainted with health insurance, and Obama care, but it’s important that as people educate on this topic by looking into the pros and cons implementations from this perspective. These pros and cons will help you to understand all the good and bad things before you get a health insurance. For example; one of the most important things that the people need to know is what is the Obamacare program. The United Stated Government established the following phrase: “The Obama Health Care is a plan for health care reform in the US.” That plan has been presented as a new health care bill, called “the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 2010.” ObamaCare has many benefits for low and middle income families and businesses

Healthcare Regulatory Agencies and their Effect on Rising Medical Costs Regulatory agencies can be viewed as a hindrance, these agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Joint Commission of Accreditation of Hospitals (JOINT), and the Occupational Safety and Healthcare Administration (OSHA) are responsible for much of the increase in costs that have taken place in providing effective and safe healthcare in the past decade. There have been arguments ever since the inception of the first regulatory agency as to whether or not these were, or would be advantageous to healthcare practitioners and healthcare institutions. Although their focus is on the patient, these agencies state that they exist for the healthcare provider’s protection. There is solid evidence demonstrating the rise in costs due to these regulations. Regulations can be as complex as safety devices for injections and as simple as requiring hair covering for healthcare workers.
