Ethical and Legal Foundations

As part of the Final Project, you will provide an analysis of the ethical and legal foundations of the health care policy issue you selected.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

Provide an analysis of the ethical and legal foundations of the health care policy issue you selected. Use ethics terms, theories and apply what you have studied in prior weeks. Explain what the ethical issue(s) are, and present the pro and con ethical positions surrounding the health care policy issue. Then, explain what the legal issue is, and present the pro and con legal positions surrounding the health care policy issue. Finally, apply your critical thinking and analysis skills by suggesting two recommendations to the policymaker and/or stakeholder that align with your own position on the ethical and legal issues. Use of supporting references is essential

Add Part 2 onto your file document from Part 1 and label it with a header identifying Part 2. You will submit a cumulative paper that combines both parts. Only Part 2 will be graded this week.

Why I chose Senator Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is an effective leader that has proved his passion, inspiration, and adequacy in various leadership aspects. He has come out before to fight any limitations within the government. An instance is his stance on Obamacare. He was among the individuals that stood firm to ensure that Obamacare would be repealed. Also, he has been vocal in fighting limitations concerning issues with the economy and the U.S. Constitution. In his position as a solicitor general, Ted is known to have authored at least 80 briefs that would be used in the U.S. Supreme Court. Also, Ted has been instrumental in securing the border. Another vital role that Ted has performed is to play be part of the team that confirmed Justice Neil Gorsuch as a member of the Supreme Court. More importantly, Ted Cruz has played an unmatched role in defending the American Bill of Rights; he has defended the First and the Second Bill of Rights. As such, Senator Ted is a firm welfare promoter who is ready to give his all for this cause. Apart from his success and glamorous career, Senator Ted is a courageous conservative who is not swayed by the people surrounding him. These are the factors and reasons why I chose him.

The Bill that Senator Cruz Opposes

Senator Ted Cruz strongly opposes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, referred to as Obamacare or ACA. To prove his criticism and opposition of the act, he has offered to sponsor legislation that is intended to repeal this law and the related amendments. ACA is a federal statute that the 111thg Congress enacted and later signed into law by President Obama in March 2010. The law has the following objectives: increasing the availability of affordable health insurance, Medicaid Program expansion, and supporting the delivery of innovative medical care (Affordable Care Act).
