For the Session Long Project we will explore health care policies from the standpoint of the health care manager.For the fourth component of the Session Long Project, please write a position paper on consumer driven health care:Reserach consumer drive healthcare (CDHC). After analyzing the information gleaned from your reserach, answer the following question: Do you personally feel that health care will become more affordable for Americans over the long term as a result of CDHC? Why or why not?**You will be expected to take a clear position one way or the other on the issue.You will be expected to provide a scholarly basis for your response. Your opinions should be justified with evidence from the literature. References should be cited properly in the text of your essay, as well as at the end. Several scholarly references should be cited for this assignment. Please limit your response to 2–3 pages.

write a paper in which you discuss Consumer Driven Health Care (CDHC) in the following scenario:Suppose that you are a health care provider. Over a lengthy dinner conversation, a person across the table argues that patients do not receive good medical care if they don\’t have much money.

Allocate a total of 6 hours to complete this clinical field experience.Imagine you are a parent of an elementary-age student and you have recently moved to your neighborhood. Spend 6 hours investigating the following:In 250-500-words, discuss your findings and reflect on your frames of reference (e.g., culture, gender, language, abilities and ways of knowing) and whether they changed or stayed the same during your investigation of the schools and community resources. What expectations did you have before this investigation? How have your frames of reference affected your expectations throughout this investigation? Based on your findings, reflect on any takeaways that would be well suited for teaching practices.

The purpose of the paper is to compare two counties on a number of variables like education, income, housing, etc. to see how stratification exists in the real world.  In order to do that, each student will select one county in Oklahoma one county in Texas.  For those who select a county in Oklahoma, you will describe the presence of stratification in your selected county and then compare the stratification in your selected county to the stratification that is present in OklahomaCounty.  For those who select a county in Texas, you will compare your selected county to DallasCounty. Approximately half of the paper will be used to make the comparisons on variables like housing characteristics, economic characteristics, social characteristics, etc.  The remainder of the paper will be used to integrate material from the textbook to explain why the stratification exists and how it impacts the people who live in your selected county and the county to which you are comparing your selected county. Here is how the paper is to be completed:            *Go to Google.com and type “American Fact Finder”            *Click on “American Fact Finder” to go to the site*In the text box below “Community Facts” type in the County and State and then click “Go”*Click on several of the links along the left edge of the screen in order to obtain the information you need *Do this for your selected county then do it for:            *OklahomaCounty if your selected county is in Oklahoma            *DallasCounty if your selected county is in Texas  This information will be used to write the first half of the paper.  Material from the textbook will be used to write the remainder of the paper.

Multi factorial Traits and Autism Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research the characteristics of multifactorial traits and autism.Based on your research, complete the discussions on the following topics:Multifactorial Traits Traits and genetic disorders are influenced in one way or another by the environment. On the other hand, the heritability of a disorder examines the variations in multifactorial traits due to genetics in a particular population and focuses on the genetic component of variations seen in a trait.AutismAutism has been widely debated and discussed in recent years. Many researchers argue that autism is a genetic disorder, while others debate that autism is a result of environmental influences.

Before completing this Discussion, please familiarize yourself with the Week 3 Discussion Rubric located in the area of the course navigation menu.In an ideal health care delivery system, all patients would have access to affordable, high-quality health services that are well coordinated to ensure the continuity and comprehensiveness of care. In reality, patients may have vastly different experiences based on their health problem or injury, the organizations that provide services close to where they live, and how the health services they need are financed.Consider, for example, a 56-year-old man who has a hemorrhagic stroke in a rural area of Alaska. What services will he need through the duration of his recovery experience? Where will he receive care? How will he pay for the services he needs? Now think about how his situation might compare to a 56-year-old man who had a stroke and lived in Houston, Texas. How might the patients’ experiences compare in terms of care coordination and the continuity and comprehensiveness of services they receive?This Discussion, which relates to your PowerPoint Assignment for this week, provides a forum for you and your colleagues to evaluate experiences patients may have with health care delivery.For this Discussion, be prepared to describe of the organizations/agencies you featured in your PowerPoint Assignment and discuss care coordination. As indicated in the Assignment instructions, if you are an international student, you may choose a geographic area in the United States or use your own location as the patient’s location. In addition, develop a brief description of your hypothetical patient (presented in the PowerPoint Assignment) that includes the patient’s primary diagnosis and location. You are encouraged to apply insights from your scholarly discussion with colleagues in this Discussion forum to strengthen the description and analysis in your PowerPoint presentation for the Assignment.a substantive and cohesive response to the following:Your original post, due by , will typically be 3–4 paragraphs in length as a general expectation/estimate. Refer to the Week 3 Discussion Rubric for grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use the rubric to assess your work.
