State the reasons you ranked the provisions in the order you presented. Analyze the potential success or failure of this Act and changes based on your organization and your local health care needs. Justify your opinion. Discuss future implications of this Act’s success or failure. Recommend policy updates, changes, revisions, and so forth to the PPACA and/or current legislation that will address the opportunities and challenges that your organization and local community may deal with.

The student’s analysis and solution will be presented in a paper of no less than 1500 words. In their analysis students are not held to a particular minimum number of sources, in part, they will be evaluated on their discretion and choice of appropriate sources; however, students are expected to utilize the relevant materials assigned throughout the course. This is a formal writing assignment and students should not merely copy information from another author, but use empirical evidence whenever possible to support their arguments and critically analyze related literature. This project has to be a bona-fide policy analysis, not a summary of readings. Students are expected to address this project in their own words. While it might be necessary, on occasion, to directly quote a source the point of this assignment is for students to synthesize the concepts and present their own analysis. Thus, students are expected to be exceptionally prudent and limited in their use of direct quotes. Students are expected and encouraged to use the assigned readings, videos, and other materials used throughout the quarter on this project. In some case students may need to utilize additional sources that were not assigned by the professor. In either case they are expected to use APA formatting of citations, footnotes, and bibliography. Students must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, and information used that are not their own, even if they have put the information into their own words. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if the oversight is unintentional.

In your paper, be sure to identify your case study in the first paragraph. Your report should state the basic premises of sustainability, and discuss the challenges of actual application. Any global issues and implications observed should be analyzed and discussed. The analysis should include a discussion of the GRI standards. “Green washing” and its potential ethical implications should be discussed in the report. Objectively discuss your observations and back them up with valid reasoning and documentable facts. Discuss the potential ethical issues related to sustainability. The paper should be approximately 4-6 pages in length and thoroughly address all required topics. You should use a minimum of four outside, credible resources, not including the course textbook. Work that is not your own must be properly cited. Your assignment is being utilized as part of your academic degree programs assessment process. During this process, we look carefully at how well we are preparing our students to meet the programs learning outcomes by analyzing student theoretical and practical skill growth over time. It is essential that we capture how your progress in the courses and assignments in your program are allowing you to meet these goals. This assignment will be collected at the program level. Rest assured that this information will be used for program assessment purposes only and not affect your course grade.
