ban of the purchase of private insurance- Should citizens be permitted to purchase private health insurance for services covered by the public system?  Should they be permitted to make additional payments to providers on top of the amounts paid by the public health insurance plan for covered services?  What was the intent of the policy?

Please I need the documents attached to be read well and also that they are followed exactly as it says.
700 – 1000 words paper.
COMPLETE QUESTION:
Some provinces in Canada, including British Columbia, currently ban the purchase of private insurance for medically necessary services that are already covered by the public system.  Do you agree or disagree with this policy?  Should citizens be permitted to purchase private health insurance for services covered by the public system?  Should they be permitted to make additional payments to providers on top of the amounts paid by the public health insurance plan for covered services?  What was the intent of the policy?  What are the unintended consequences of prohibiting private payments?  What do you believe would be the outcome if individuals were permitted to pay privately?

Considerations of Demand-Analyze and interpret your findings on the impact of income, health outcomes and distribution of healthcare services

Considerations.of.Demand

1. Create a PowerPoint presentation.
2. Choose three different cities within the KSA. Choose a city of large, medium and small population.

Employer enforcement – respond to another student's answer in a critical way by playing "devil's advocate" and elaborating on your point of disagreement.


You should keep all of your work on this discussion civil, articulate, and well-informed by the readings. You will be graded on the quality of your work and its relevance to the topic and readings. Each response should be 1 paragraph at most. The online discussions are worth 6 points: 3 points for your initial answer and 3 points for your critical response.
After the initial answer has been posted, you must then respond to another student’s answer in a critical way by playing “devil’s advocate” and elaborating on your point of disagreement. You must do this by Wednesday, February 14.
 
Employer enforcement refers to the use of force by an employee to act in a certain way. This is unfair to all employees under the employee protection rights. Responses to private governments are not good for workers when they are subjected to extreme conditions or regulations that require workers to return to their employers, even if the coercion of the workers is not accepted. Workers should always use the best strategy to leave employers. It is a truthful and fair way in which all labor relations and labor relations can be accepted. The best way is to be able to make a complaint or inquiry about how to leave an employee in relation to an employing agency and wages and various conditions. Basically this will help your employer get out of rights, coercion, and even discrimination at work. Even if the user leaves at this stage, he will not be misunderstood as to why he was released. Therefore, in order to escape from coercion, workers must use better methods.

Upper Division Writing Papers
Three papers will make up the remaining 150 points (one-third) of your course grade.  While there will be four paper topics available, you only need to complete three papers.  (If you choose to complete four, your lowest score will be dropped.)  The papers will be critical thinking papers worth 50 points each.  You will be given the opportunity for feedback and revision and may earn back up to 10 missed points from your initial submission.  Papers must be submitted electronically to Canvas by 11:00pm on the day they are due.  Since you have four paper options, late work is not accepted.  Failure to submit your work as a result of technological failure will not grant you an extension.  Submitting your work on time is your responsibility.  Extra credit cannot be applied to Upper Division Writing Papers or to satisfy the University’s “C-” requirement.
This course satisfies the University’s Upper Division Writing requirement.  In order to fulfill FSU’s Upper-Division Writing requirement, the student must earn a “C-” or higher in the course, and earn at least a “C-” average on the required writing assignments.  If the student does not earn a “C-” average or better on the required writing assignments, the student will not earn an overall grade of “C-” or better in the course, no matter how well the student performs in the remaining portion of the course.

Module C: Project Plan – Creating a Public Health Infographic

Overview
 
For this module on mass media and media advocacy, each group will be creating a public health infographic.  An infographic is a form of communication that consists of a visual presentation of data and information arranged in a “user-friendly” way.  Infographics are one of the more recent forms of public health communication.  For example, the American Public Health Association (APHA) is using them to support the mission of public health as well as provide info on health topics (http://action.apha.org/site/PageNavigator/Infographic_Page_2012_10_04_Round_2.html).  For your project, you will be creating one large/long infographic with several sections (blocks).  Each group member will create a block, and the group leader will assemble them into the final product.  Luckily, there are excellent, free, web-based tools for creating infographics, so please don’t be concerned if you feel that artistic expression is not one of your strengths.  The lecture and posted resources will also provide tips for using mass media in public health.
 
The group leader is to complete page 2-3 of the leadership plan before submitting to the instructor for review. All group members, including group leaders, will follow the instruction on pages 4 of the plan to complete the individual assignments.
 
The group leaders only will follow the instructions on page 5 to complete the final group assignment.
 
Please feel free to contact the instructor with questions.
 

 

Project Learning Objectives
·         Describe best practices for communicating prevention-focused public health messages through various mass media and electronic technology formats
·         Describe the potential influence of mass media and electronic technology prevention-focused approaches on cultural norms, individual attitudes, and health behaviors
·         Identify the strengths and weaknesses in existing mass media and electronic technology approaches to prevention-focused health communication

Plan for Achieving Final Project Goals (Leader should replace the below questions with responses to the questions)
–          How will the individual projects be assigned/determined?
–          How will the group discussion be facilitated?  (e.g. the group leader will propose specific questions, each group member will be assigned to review another member’s individual project, etc.)
–          If more information is needed on the topic, how will the work be divided? (e.g. each group member reads one of the additional posted resources, each member is responsible for answering a specific question, etc)
–          Are there any general guidelines or ground rules for discussion or participation?
–          And so on…

 

Creating Our Group Infographic
For this module, we will be using the Piktochart website to create an infographic!  To use the site, you need to create an account, but it’s free and only asks for your email address, a username, and a password.
 
As group leader, I will be assembling the actual final infographic, but you will each be creating one individual portion (block) of it.
 
Website: http://magic.piktochart.com/
The free theme that we will be using is:  select any free theme

 

Individual Assignments
Group leader should assign or make suggestions for which group member will focus on which section of the infographic.  (LEADERS: If there are only 3 members in your group, you only need to do #2 OR #3 from the list below.  All groups need to include sections #1 and #4 in their final infographic.)
 
1.       Definition/Description/Burden of Problem  – Group Member Name
2.       Important Lesser-Known Facts about Problem  – Group Member Name
3.       Common Misperceptions/Myths about Problem  – Group Member Name
4.       Public Health Recommendation for Action  – Group Member Name

 

Initial Brainstorming for Final Project Components (to be completed by group leaders before posting plan)
1.       What is the overall purpose of our infographic? What specifically are we trying to accomplish?
–          Include some bullet points here of the content you are thinking about including in this section
2.       What are some key characteristics of our selected audience?  Who are they and what do they care about?
–          Include some bullet points here of the content you are thinking about including in this section
3.       What would be our plan for disseminating the infographic to our intended audience?  How would we evaluate its success?

4.       In addition to disseminating your infographic, what other public health interventions would you include to meet the requirements for “Education for Behavior Change” as described in lecture C3?
–          Include some bullet points here of the content you are thinking about including in this section

 
 
 
 
 
 

Individual Assignment: Stakeholder Analysis – Required Components
The group leader will determine which group member will focus on which section of the infographic.  Each group member will respond to the prompts below AND their assigned content area questions in 2-4 pages, and create a DRAFT infographic block.  All the individual blocks will be combined into a final infographic by the group leader.
 
For Individual Assignments:
i.   Submit a 2-4 page Word document
a.        Answer the questions for your assigned content area (below).  Include specific data and sources!
b.       Indicate which pieces of information you collected are most important to include in the infographic given this audience and justify your decision.
ii.   Create a DRAFT of your individual infographic block (instructions below)
 
Content Areas
1.       Definition/Description/Burden of Problem
è  What is the problem?  Who and how many are affected?  What are some of the concerning consequences and outcomes from this problem? How does this problem affect the general public?
2.       Important Lesser-Known Facts about Problem
è  What are some important facts about this issue and its consequences that the general public doesn’t know, but should?  Why will providing these facts help them understand the problem?
3.       Common Misperceptions/Myths about Problem
è  What is a common misperception that the general public has about this topic?  What do the facts say?  Why is it important to correct this misperception?
4.       Public Health Recommendation for Action
