After reading Articles I, II, and III of the U.S. Constitution, in what ways might you argue that the Constitution was written to form a weak or strong central government? Provide three specific examples to support your position.

• Identify specific examples in the language of the text to support your position.
• Examine some of the arguments used by the framers of the Constitution while debating the language of the document.
• Include any philosophical underpinning that might have influenced the thinking of the framers of the Constitution.

Please note that the U.S. Constitution brings a philosophical perspective that has helped to shape our jurisprudence that should not be lost as a result of casual reading of the Constitution.

You will be graded on the clarity of your argument, the presentation of your position, use of the APA format, and understanding of the first three articles of the Constitution.

Problem 2:

The employer will pay 80% of the premium for individual coverage, and the employee will pay the remaining 20% as well as the entire additional premium for family coverage. (The premiums listed above, while realistic in magnitude, are hypothetical and computed solely for the purpose of this project.) All of the plans are managed care plans. Assume that the benefit package is the same across all plans, so there is no difference between them in what services are covered.

In addition to the above data, click here to view and investigate the Online Report on Quality Performance Results in New York State, the latest report card issued by the New York State Department of Health, 2013, and incorporate the information into your evaluation.

You can view the various categories of measures on which health plans are rated (e.g., Access to Care, Adult Living with Illness, etc.). Click each link for a summary chart that presents the performance (usually as a percentage score) of each plan in the group on the relevant measures and how each plan compares to regional and statewide scores.

Submit a 2-page analysis in a Microsoft Word document that outlines the plan you selected and why. Generally, you would select the plan with the highest score, but if you chose a plan with a lower score, explain why. Include the following elements in your analysis:

• Explain which factors were  most important to your choice of plan and how you derived the weights for each factor you used.
• Indicate, on a scale of 1 to 10, how comfortable or confident you are that you made the right choice, with 10 being most confident.
