Health law is constantly changing and morphing due to the efforts of interested parties or stakeholders. Some of the proposed changes benefit citizens while others appear only to further the interests of corporations. It is important to understand the influence of politics, for example, on policy. For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to explore current news items related to health law and policy.
From the Internet, review the following:
- Kaiser Health News. (n.d.). The Health Law. Retrieved from https://khn.org/topics/the-health-law/
Choose a current news item of interest and include the following information in your discussion post:
- Health policy discussed
- Invested parties
- Potential pros and cons of recommended change
To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Your posting should be a minimum of 200 words in length.
Submit your posting to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned. Be sure to use the lessons and vocabulary found in the reading.
