Assess the differences in health care budgeting as a result of these potential changes in the payer mix and payment methodologies as an outcome of the Affordable Care Act.

This assignment will require you to consider several influences to the budgeting process of a health care institution. Here, you will review payer mix and other influences to revenue as you consider revenue factors for the budget. Complete the following for this assignment:

For a health care organization of your choice (real or hypothetical), describe the type of organization, and determine the payer mix of patients served (percentage of Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, managed care, and private pay).
Take into consideration that reimbursement can be affected by the claims process, out-of-network payments, denials, audits, and legislation.
Assess the differences in health care budgeting as a result of these potential changes in the payer mix and payment methodologies as an outcome of the Affordable Care Act.
Take into consideration that while more patients may have insurance coverage, the out-of-pocket expenses will continue to create a potential uncollectable liability.
Evaluate how you would strategize to keep a balanced budget for all 12 months in a year using a flexible budget rather than a static budget, and provide rationale and justification.
The body of the resultant paper should be 5–7 pages and include at least 5 relevant academic or professional references published in the past 5 years. This MUST be Plagiarism Free! I will Pay $16.00 for this project.

What is it like to think of sexuality in terms of aim (what you want to do) instead of object (who you want to do it with)? What are your sexual aims?
Instruction:

In his landmark work Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, Sigmund Freud made a distinction between sexual object (who we are attracted to) and sexual aim (what we want to do with them), thereby making our current views on sexuality far too simplistic and forcing us to have a more complex vision of what it is to be sexual.*

IN the 1970s, in the Castro district of San Francisco, gay men developed a way of advertising their sexual desires (aims, as well as objects) and “the lanky code” was born. Today is it used among multi-gender queer communities and Sm communities as well as gay male communities.

*This is true for asexual beings as well. For instance, on Freud’s view, once could be an asexual lesbian, or an asexual queer, or an asexual homosexual. Granted there are other ways to think about asexuality — this is just one interesting view.

12. For the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, go to the following website: https://user.xmission.com/~trevin/hanky.html and learn about the lanky code. Go over the various bandannas and their meanings. Think about what YOU would flag if you were advertising your sexuality. Are there things missing that you would have to make up?

13. Write a reaction paper (#4) on your responses to the lanky code. What is it like to think of sexuality in terms of aim (what you want to do) instead of object (who you want to do it with)? What are your sexual aims? Are they different with different objects? Can you have one without the other? Explore YOUR sexuality through aim and object in this paper.

Explain how this policy will impact various groups in Texas (different demographics).
BACKGROUND: Election years can become very contentious, with many candidates arguing about policy issues that affect all Americans.

BACKGROUND: Election years can become very contentious, with many candidates arguing about policy issues that affect all Americans. Even within a party, the presidential candidates may not agree how to approach policies like immigration, abortion, healthcare, etc. It is important to know where candidate’s stand on these issues, so you can inform your own voting in the primary and general elections. The basic idea for this essay is to research a political candidate, one or more of their issues, and then speculate how that issue would impact individuals and the country if that candidate became President. GUIDELINES 1. Assignment: You will write a 750-1000 word memo trying to persuade me, the Campaign Contributions Director, to support your chosen candidate: a. Choose any candidate currently running in the presidential election. He or she can be from any party (including third parties). Give a brief background of this candidate: what, if any, political office has s/he held and what is his/her professional background. b. Choose a policy issue that your candidate supports. The internet will be your friend here: I suggest looking up your candidate’s campaign webpage. Explain the candidate’s stance on your chosen policy, how/why people in the candidate’s party will support this position, and how to persuade others to support it. c. What if your candidate was actually elected President? How would this issue play out? (Yes, it is a guess, but it should be an educated guess.) Explain how this policy will impact various groups in Texas (different demographics). Does this policy benefit the population as a whole, or does it benefit only certain groups? What interest groups, if any, will benefit from this (be specific – look up some interest groups that may benefit). 2. This assignment is worth 30 points of your grade. I suggest you put some thought and effort into it. It is a persuasion piece, but you need to back up your ideas with FACTS and RESEARCH 3. Your paper needs to be submitted to the Essay dropbox, by Wednesday, November 18, 2015. 4. Formatting: a. Your paper needs to be between 750 and 1000 words. . i. This is an essay. Do not use bullet points or numbering to answer the questions. It needs to be in paragraph form. ii. Please double space iii. Unless you are using the ‘header’ setting, do not put your name or any additional information at the top of each page. Because we’re going for word count, don’t waste a bunch of space at the top of the page to make your paper look longer (yes, we KNOW when you do this!) b. Sources: i. As many as you need. ii. Only use academic, scholarly, news, or informational websites (candidate sites, political party sites, government sites, etc) 1. Scholarly = from a university source or academic journal (access these from the online databases on the library website – JSTOR is a great resource) 2. Online news must be from a REAL news source. CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. (TheBlaze.com, IJReview.com, ThinkProgress.com, etc are not news sources. Please ask me if you have ANY questions on what constitutes an academic/news source) 3. Wikipedia is not a source. This is non-negotiable. 4. Blogs are not a source. If it says ‘blog’ in the url, it’s a blog c. Use in-text citation, APA style, with a complete Bibliography/Works Cited page (this is required). i. If you are using someone else’s words, in a direct quote, use quotation marks and a citation. ii. If you are paraphrasing someone else’s words, and it is not common knowledge, or information you learned in class, use a citation. iii. Use this for help: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ iv. If you are going to use the “synonyms” feature on Word, please make sure the substituted word fits in the context of the sentence!
