Evolution of Laws

MMA was signed by President Bush in 2003. The MMA brought about sweeping changes that increased enrollment and improved access to Medicare Plans. Similarly, the PPACA was signed into law by President Obama in 2010. The law is expected to significantly increase access to Medicaid for the uninsured, low-income families, and individuals. Medicaid managed care has been implemented by most states, mainly because of rising costs, plan quality, access to providers, and the decrease in state revenues and federal matching funding. Medicare has explored managed care for the same reasons: to reduce costs, improve quality and improve access to providers. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research the following two topics and write a paper evaluating the impact of these policies on Medicare and Medicaid managed care.

You need to research on the following two topics:

· Medicare and managed care

· Medicaid and managed care

Based on your research, answer the following questions:

· Write a summary for each topic tying together the information learned about that topic.

· Analyze the challenges Medicaid faces in terms of improving access to care, quality of care, and reducing the cost of care.

· Analyze the challenges Medicare faces in terms of improving access to care, quality of care, and reducing the cost of care.

· Draw conclusions about the future of managed care in each program—will it grow or decline? What will be the challenges for success?

· Select at least four reputable articles per topic that address the challenges facing Medicare and Medicaid managed care.

Based on your research, summarize your findings on the selected topics and compile your observations in a 5- to 6-page Microsoft Word document.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.

Remember an ethical person has standards and values by which they live. When considering Politicians you may want to review the following:

Washington Ethics Society. (2013). What does “ethics” mean?

http://www.ethicalsociety.org/article/19/about-wes/etical-culture-our-religious-heritage/faqs-about-ethical-culture/what-does-ethics-mean?search=ethics

Having ethics suggests that truth-telling exemplifies character traits of excellence. There is the notion of integrity in truth-telling (Begley, 2008).

Considerations in Ethics

Every Profession needs a code of Ethics. Some important questions to create critical thinking about a code of ethics (Howard, 2001) are:

1.Reciprocity: Does the rule apply to you and are you initating or receiving the action?

2. Universality: Do you want the rules to apply to everyone?

3. Consistency: Is the system of rule logiclly consistent?

4. Actualization: Does the rule provide guidance for behavior?

Ethical Words

A Jewish Sage found in Green & Levi (2004).

Watch your words, they become your actions;

Watch your actions, they become your habits;

Watch your habits, they become your character;

Watch your character, it will beomce your destiny.”
