Content Requirements:

Introduction paragraph (minimum 4 sentences) – Last sentence is a thesis sentence

• Briefly introduce the topic
• The last sentence of this paragraph should be your thesis statement. A thesis statement clearly states what your paper will cover and gives an overview of the points you will make.
  • Hint: Write your thesis sentence last. That way you can focus the flow of information within the body of your paper and then make your thesis sentence match all topics at the end of your writing.
  • Example: “This paper will explore various health systems around the world and how they compare to the United States using dimensions such as quality of care and access.”

Dimensions of Health Care paragraph

• Use this link for the international comparison of health systems article to complete this section of the paper.. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2021/aug/mirror-mirror-2021-reflecting-poorly
• In 1-2 sentences for each dimension, define all 5 dimensions (care process, access, administrative efficiency, equity, and health care outcomes) that are used to evaluate the health care systems of each country.
  • Define each dimension of health care. Do not describe how each dimension relates to the U.S. or other countries at this time.
  • Be sure to summarize this information into your own words to avoid plagiarism.
  • This information can be found in the How We Measured Performance section near the bottom of the full report.
  • Keep this section as concise as possible to avoid exceeding the maximum word count of 1300 for this assignment

Rank Comparison of Health Care Systems paragraph

• Identify 1 dimension (care process, access, administrative efficiency, equity, and health care outcomes) you think is the most important to health care and explain why it is most important to you (minimum 2 substantive sentences).
• Identify the country whose health care system received the highest overall rating in this dimension in the article (1 = highest).
  • Describe the reasons for achieving this ranking (minimum 3 substantive sentences)
• Identify the country whose health care system received the lowest overall rating in this dimension in the article (11 = lowest).
  • Describe the reasons for achieving this ranking (minimum 3 substantive sentences)
• This paragraph will require additional research to find this information. Be sure to use reliable, unbiased sources in this discussion and include appropriate citations using APA referencing.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) paragraph(s)

• Section overview: The PPACA encompasses many components addressing health care in the U.S. You will start by describing 2 specific components of the law. In your research, you will find that some components of the PPACA have been changed since it was signed into law in 2010.  Research and report if the parts you describe have changed, and what their impact has had on our healthcare system. 
• Component 1 paragraph – Identify and describe a main component of the PPACA. Main components include specific aspects of the policy.  For example, allowing children to stay on their parents’ health insurance until 26 years old. 
  1. Describe this specific component (minimum of 2 substantive sentences)
  2. Identify if and how this component has changed since the PPACA became law (1 sentence). If it hasn’t changed, be sure to state no change rather than skipping this requirement.
  3. Provide data/statistics/numbers describing the impact this component has had on our healthcare system (minimum of 1 substantive sentence)
• Component 2 paragraph – Identify and describe another main component of the PPACA.
  1. Describe this specific component (minimum of 2 substantive sentences)
  2. Identify if and how this component has changed since the PPACA became law (1 sentence). If it hasn’t changed, be sure to state no change rather than skipping this requirement.
  3. Provide data/statistics/numbers describing the impact this component has had on our healthcare system (minimum of 1 substantive sentence)

Conclusion paragraph (minimum 4 sentences)

• Now that you have researched health care in the U.S. and abroad, you have the opportunity to share your viewpoint of U.S. health care. The goal of this paragraph is to describe your opinion of the current direction of health care reform in the U.S. (Students are expected to use first person in this paragraph).
• Some possible discussions in this paragraph could include:
  • Ways the PPACA affects the U.S. health care system
  • Ways you have personally been affected by changes in health care since the implementation of the PPACA
  • What you specifically like/dislike about the PPACA

We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.

• Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

• Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. explore the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and predict how it will affect America’s system of health care delivery

• APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

• Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

• LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

• Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

• Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
