This course is a survey of psychological, biological, cultural, and ethical issues as related to sexual behavior, anatomy, and physiology, sexuality and persons with disabilities, victimization, consumerism, ethics and laws pertaining to sexuality. It is designed to increase both knowledge of sexuality and a persons comfort with the subject. Human sexuality is influenced by many factors: genetics, biology, social environment, and personal values. Several institutions, including the craft store Hobby Lobby and Wheaton College in suburban Chicago, have opted to decline birth control coverage to their employees or students because birth control use violates the religious principles of the governing organization. (See article below.) In your opinion, are these institutions behaving ethically? (There is no RIGHT answer! You will graded on the strength of your thinking and writing, not on the position you take.) Write a persuasive essay of at least 800 words that outlines your opinion on the ethics of this controversy. Use at least 2 resources to support your positions. Wheaton College ends coverage amid fight against birth control mandate July 28, 2015 Wheaton College is ending health care coverage for more than 700 undergraduate and graduate students, about a quarter of the student body, to avoid complying with the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive rules. (Antonio Perez, Chicago Tribune) By Manya Brachear Pashman Chicago Tribune contact the reporter No more health insurance, Wheaton tells students Taking a firm stand against Obamacare’s controversial contraception mandate, Wheaton College on Friday will stop providing any health insurance for students. The decision, announced to students July 10, will halt health care coverage for about a quarter of the college’s 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students, forcing them to shop for other plans just weeks before their coverage ends. One of the most hotly debated elements of the Affordable Care Act has been the requirement for insurance plans to include base coverage for birth control. Wheaton College was among dozens of Christian nonprofits, as well as businesses such as Hobby Lobby, that argued the mandate was an assault on religious freedom. The college appears to be one of the first to move its protracted legal battle from the courtroom to campus. Wheaton College in suburban Chicago says it will stop offering health insurance plans to students to avoid providing birth control coverage mandated by the Affordable Care Act. (WGN-TV) During an information session for students last week that was streamed live online, Paul Chelsen, Wheaton’s vice president of student development, said he regretted the last-minute decision and the hardship it brings. “What has brought us here is about student health insurance, but it’s bigger than student health insurance,” Chelsen said, according to a recording of the session obtained by the Tribune. “What really breaks my heart is that there are real people that are affected by our decision. But if we don’t win this case, the implications down the road in terms of what the government will tell us what we can and cannot do will be potentially more significant.” “I acknowledge that students have been hurt by this decision and I regret that,” he added. Officials at the west suburban evangelical school said a compromise provision that would require them to notify the government of their religious objections would prompt the school’s insurance carrier to provide the coverage directly to students. Pulling the trigger on that action, and providing the health care plan in the first place, would force Wheaton to violate its religious beliefs, officials said. “When you order somebody to provide something for the beneficiaries of my plan, you are using my plan,” said Mark Rienzi, a lawyer for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a Washington-based law firm representing Wheaton. “For the government to do that is to effectively change the terms of the plan.” Rienzi said it was not enough that the carrier would provide the emergency contraception and that it would be made clear that Wheaton did not condone the services. “That’s moral analysis, and Wheaton College doesn’t feel that way,” he said. “It’s very reasonable not to feel that way. The government insists it’s not creating new insurance policies. It’s riding on existing insurance policies.” While the Roman Catholic Church objects to all forms of contraception, many Protestant institutions do not mind covering several forms of birth control, including pills and sterilization procedures. But methods such as intrauterine devices and FDA-approved morning-after pills that prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus would violate Wheaton’s religious principles because some evangelical Christians equate those processes to abortion. Some religious groups and schools have accepted the government’s compromise plan. Wheaton filed a federal lawsuit in 2012. Since then, it has postponed complying with the order, most recently with a temporary stay granted by the U.S. Supreme Court. Chelsen said the college was on the verge of canceling insurance last year before the high court’s ruling July 3, 2014. The injunction came the day after justices ruled in Hobby Lobby’s favor that a family-owned corporation could not be forced to offer contraception coverage for its employees. When the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Wheaton’s request earlier this month for a preliminary injunction while its lawsuit is pending, it hastened the college’s decision to drop the students’ health care coverage. “When Wheaton College tells us that it is being ‘forced’ to allow ‘use’ of its health plans to cover emergency contraceptives, it is wrong,” Judge Richard Posner wrote in the opinion. Posner wrote that he didn’t see any reason why Wheaton couldn’t abide by the compromise plan while the case moved through the court system. “This is hardly a burdensome requirement,” Posner wrote. In the presentation to students, Chelsen explained that the college must be consistent and that the students’ hardship serves a greater purpose. “We are attempting to protect the larger lawsuit the college has against the Department of Health and Human Services,” Chelsen said. “The reason protecting that case is so important is because basically what has happened is the government is telling us we have to offer something that we find morally objectionable.” Student health insurance is a relatively recent addition to Wheaton’s enrollment package. Even though the federal government does not require higher education institutions to provide health insurance, Wheaton added a requirement in 2010 that students enroll or provide proof of comparable insurance every year. Before 2010, students enrolled only in accidental or illness coverage that could protect them in emergencies. Most college students are covered under their parents’ health plans. The minimum annual cost for last year’s package was $2,700; this year’s plan would have been similar. But the college already had notified students that it would no longer cover spouses and dependents. Chelsen said some families believed the burden of proof was a headache. “Some of our families are actually saying, ‘Thank you’ because they did not like the current system we had in place,” Chelsen said. But some students and alumni object to the college’s decision. Rising senior Chris Prescher, 22, said he is unaffected by the change. He understands the moral objection, but disagrees with the college’s action. “I fear the administration is putting petty politics above caring for students.” The Rev. Katherine Kallis, 74, who graduated in 1962, also disagrees. “I just feel it is a very sad thing. Nobody is forcing anybody to go against their religious convictions. … Wheaton is really overstepping its bounds.” Meanwhile, the college is trying to ease the burden for those who took advantage of the student insurance, especially international students. Chelsen said the college will set aside money to help students who might struggle to pay for an increase in the cost of insurance. A page on the Wheaton College website walks students through the process of finding a private health insurance plan or one on the federal public health insurance exchange, . Chelsen said the insurance decision doesn’t affect access to the campus health clinic. He said the college is investigating the possibility of a self-insured plan in the future.

Discuss whether or not the U.S. healthcare system is meeting all of the six aims (safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable) necessary to improve quality of care delivered to our patients.

Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies) are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation. Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand (AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD to the right, the government has to increase the government spending (the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an increase in AD. Develop an essay discussing the fiscal and the monetary policies adopted and implemented by the federal during the Great Recession and their impacts on the U.S. economy. Your paper should be structured as follows 1. Cover page with a running head 2. Introduction: What is the economic meaning of a recession? A brief discussion of fiscal policies A brief discussion of monetary policies 3. Conclusions: Discuss the extent to which the use of demand side policies (fiscal policy and monetary policy) during the Great Recession of 2008 has been successful in restoring economic growth and reducing unemployment 4.
