Assignment task: Health Care Provision and Financing
After the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, many policymakers and the public criticized its provision and financing. Few policies are deemed perfect-most policies in the U.S. are the result of compromise, and thus there are often aspects of social policy that can be improved.
As social workers, some encounter ethical dilemmas often, if not daily. Policy analysis and advocacy is no different. Consider at least one ethical dilemma in health care as well as a pro and con inherent in the dilemma you've shared.
Q1. Describe one ethical dilemma in health care provision and financing.
Q2. Describe one pro and one con inherent in this dilemma.
