The process of analyzing health policy involves explaining the primary relationship between different institutions, interest areas and concepts (Walt et al., 1994). It is essential in order to establish historical policies, their successes or failure and help in planning for the design and development of current and future policies. The ever dynamic nature of the policy environment makes policy analysis to look more complicated. The design, development and adoption or implementation of any health policy is heavily dependent on the financial position of any governing institution (Walt et al., 1999). A health policy entails the management of disease or infection outbreaks and disease causing factors or conditions. In managing disease outbreaks, a ruling organization has to establish sufficient structures where patients will be taken care of or treated, ensure the availability of sufficient health experts and treatment instruments, create public awareness about the disease, including its symptom causal factors and put in place mechanisms that will help manage the spread of the disease or infection. In the management of disease causal factors, it is necessary to finance campaigns to foster effective environmental management mechanisms (Merriam et al., 2001). It is also necessary to specify the minimum conditions under which human activities will be carried out in order to enhance safety and health. Congresswoman Moody has to understand that the state she represents lies on an international border which experiences multiple socioeconomic interactions. This is particularly dangerous considering that the area is highly populated. The fact that the area has many undocumented workers also means that they are highly vulnerable to experiencing inadequate access to health services. The conditions under which these individuals work does not make it any better. They are highly prone to contracting occupational health problems which are usually the most complicated kind of infections to deal with. Moody does not have the capacity to stop the activities that take place in her state since it will spark global controversy and even affect the economic outlook of her state. In addition, her limited Medicaid budget and rate of unemployment is depressing issues. The first option Moody should consider is to look at the possibility of borrowing funds from one of the internal management departments to help ease the predicament that exists in the medical department. It is necessary to accept the existing condition and try to reason on how it could be solved rather than concentrating on past challenges that remain unsolved. Solving this first challenge will provide room for the developments that will lead to solving the rest of the problems.

1. The process of analyzing health policy involves explaining the
primary relationship between different institutions, interest
areas and concepts (Walt et al., 1994). It is essential in order to
establish historical policies, their successes or failure and help
in planning for the design and development of current and
future policies. The ever dynamic nature of the policy
environment makes policy analysis to look more complicated.
The design, development and adoption or implementation of any
health policy is heavily dependent on the financial position of
any governing institution (Walt et al., 1999). A health policy
entails the management of disease or infection outbreaks and
disease causing factors or conditions. In managing disease
outbreaks, a ruling organization has to establish sufficient
structures where patients will be taken care of or treated, ensure
the availability of sufficient health experts and treatment
instruments, create public awareness about the disease,
including its symptom causal factors and put in place
mechanisms that will help manage the spread of the disease or
infection. In the management of disease causal factors, it is
necessary to finance campaigns to foster effective
environmental management mechanisms (Merriam et al., 2001).
It is also necessary to specify the minimum conditions under
which human activities will be carried out in order to enhance
safety and health.
Congresswoman Moody has to understand that the state she
represents lies on an international border which experiences
multiple socioeconomic interactions. This is particularly

Moody does not have the capacity to stop the activities that take
place in her state since it will spark global controversy and even
affect the economic outlook of her state. In addition, her limited
Medicaid budget and rate of unemployment is depressing issues.
The first option Moody should consider is to look at the
possibility of borrowing funds from one of the internal
management departments to help ease the predicament that
exists in the medical department. It is necessary to accept the
existing condition and try to reason on how it could be solved
rather than concentrating on past challenges that remain
unsolved. Solving this first challenge will provide room for the
developments that will lead to solving the rest of the problems.
The second option would be to welcome or introduce investors
into the health sector within the state. They could help residents
in the state by either offering affordable care services or
through provision of an insurance policy.
They could still help with shipping patients to nearby health
centers at subsidized costs or through provision of employment
opportunities which will entitle the residents to some form of
income that would enhance their upkeep.
The third option would be to make health insurance policy
compulsory for all the residents in the state. This action will
encourage more individuals to invest in the state, particularly in
the insurance sector. The revenue accrued from this action
would then be utilized in financing health management
activities in the state.
Finally, public-private partnership should be encouraged,
especially in the health fraternity within the state. Most
workplaces that are found to contain difficult working

safety legislations. Industries or business institutions within the
state that have the ability to construct health care facilities and
employ health workers should be encouraged to do it.
Evaluation of the mentioned options would involve creating a
checklist or matrix that would rank each option using viability
scores. The most viable alternative should be considered and
implemented. Summative evaluation of options should also be
carried out after implementing any of the options to find out if
the overall goal would have been achieved.
Acquisition of funds by borrowing from sister departments
would be good as it will only occur within the administration
and does not raise public concern. However, this can interfere
with the activities of the sister department from which the
money is acquired. Investors can easily help to bring stability
within the healthcare sector in the state. They will build
hospitals, furnish them with necessary equipment and employ
several experts to work in the hospitals. The only problem is
that, the competition may creep in and lead to increase in
treatment charges. Making health insurance policy compulsory
will entitle all residents to fair and affordable healthcare
services. The main undoing would be the influx of fraudsters.
Public-private partnership results into sustainable solutions,
however it involves lengthy procedures which may take more
time to solve the problem.
