health care access

/in /by

Many people throughout the United States face significant barriers to health care access. As policy makers and other stakeholders consider ways to address challenges related to access to care, one key area of focus involves those who lack insurance or have inadequate coverage through insurance. Submit a PowerPoint presentation of 8-10 slides including 100-200 word speaker notes in which you address the following:

  • Consider the different stakeholders and perspectives impacted by health policy. How does access to insurance differ from access to care? Provide 1 specific example from your personal or professional life or from current events to support your response, and explain why this distinction is important.
  • How did the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 address access to insurance? How does current enacted legislation impact access to care? What do you see as the ultimate goal of expanding insurance coverage?
  • If access to insurance coverage and medical care are increased through health care reform, what unanticipated consequences might arise? List the consequences associated with health stakeholders and perspectives.

Note: Your presentation must be formatted in APA style with 4 quality references, 2 of which are peer-reviewed sources from health care journals. References should be placed on the Reference slide at the end of the presentation.

Interest Rate Risk Analysis, business and finance homework help

/in /by

For this assignment, write a 5–10 page report focusing on the interest rate risk management of your selected firm. Regulatory agencies began to collect relevant information in the 1980s when large numbers of thrifts failed due to the interest rate risk exposure at a time when market rates were increasing both in level and volatility.

Net Interest Margin (NIM) Data

  1. Visit the Uniform Bank Performance Report (UBPR) section of the FFIEC Web site (see link below).
  2. Click on Search for a Uniform Bank Performance Report. This brings you to a search engine where you can type in your Bank Holding Company’s name or FDIC number (such as Bank of America or BOA).
  3. Once the search generates a report link, click on it and then choose Standard Format, and then Generate Report.

This report provides all kinds of information on your chosen bank, including summary ratios of the bank and of its peer group. You should be able to find Net Interest Income (NII) as a percentage of Total Assets (TA). You may notice that sometimes Total Earning Assets (TEA) is used as a denominator instead of Total Assets (TA).

Analysis

Once you have obtained the data on Net Interest Margin (NIM), write an analysis discussing the interest rate sensitivity for your bank relative to the peer group based on the NIM across three time periods. Take the following questions into consideration:

  • What is revealed by the variation of the NIM across time?
  • What are some of the factors, economic or otherwise that have played a role in the bank’s interest rate sensitivity?

Inferences for the Industry

Based on the analysis of the interest rate risk for this company, and asset-liability management techniques, as covered in course readings and research, what strategies and recommendations can you offer for hedging against credit risk and interest rate risk? Provide support for your position from relevant sources.

The company I have chosen to do is JP Morgan Chase Bank.

Analytical Summaries

/in /by

For this assignment, you will compose two short critical essays explaining and evaluating arguments by other authors. This assignment allows you to analyze an issue from a variety of perspectives and assess arguments for or against the issue. By focusing your attention on how the original authors use evidence and reasoning to construct and support their positions, you can recognize the value of critical thinking in public discourse.

Read the two articles “Shooting in the Dark“, and “Focusing on the How of Violence” and write two separate analytical summaries.

This assignment has two parts.

Part 1—First Article

Write an analytical summary of the article focusing on the article’s main claims. Include the following:

  • Provide a brief summary of the argument presented in the article.
  • Identify and discuss three ways the author uses evidence to support assertions.
  • Analyze how the author signals this usage through elements such as word choices, transitions, or logical connections.

Part 2—Second Article

Write an analytical summary of the article focusing on the article’s main claims. Include the following:

  • Provide a brief summary of the argument presented in the article.
  • Identify any value-based assertions in the article and how the author supports these value-based conclusions with evidence.
  • Discuss how this evidence does or does not demonstrate relevance, consistency, transparency, and speculation.
  • Analyze how the author signals the use of these elements through language. For example, word choices, transitions, or logical connections.
