Policy (Economic Stimulus Act) From UiTM KBM Students :D
The Economic Stimulus Acts of 2008 were enacted in response to the deteriorating US economic conditions in 2007-2008, including rising unemployment and turmoil in the housing and financial industries. President Bush proposed $145 billion in tax relief for individuals and businesses. After negotiations between House Speaker Pelosi, Republican Leader Boehner, and Treasury Secretary Paulson, a bill was passed providing tax rebates for individuals earning over $3,000 and increases tax cuts for businesses to encourage investment. The Senate later amended the bill to provide additional assistance. The final acts cost $152 billion in 2008 and $16 billion in 2009, providing tax rebates and breaks aimed at stimulating the economy.

The Legal Services Corporation: From Inception to the Present Day
The document discusses the history of government funding for legal aid services for low-income individuals in the United States. It describes how the Legal Services Corporation was established in 1974 to replace the Office of Economic Opportunity's legal services programs and initially received higher funding, but that funding has significantly declined since the 1980s under Republican presidents and legislation imposing restrictions in 1996. The cuts have resulted in many legal aid offices closing and only 20% of the needed legal services for low-income people being met currently.

Role of government_y
The document outlines the major economic functions of government which include establishing a legal framework, maintaining competition, redistributing income, reallocating resources to address externalities, providing public goods and services, promoting economic stability through fiscal and monetary policies, and financing these functions through tax revenues and expenditures at the federal, state, and local levels. Key economic functions involve setting rules, regulating markets, addressing market failures, providing certain goods and services, and stabilizing the economy.
Health Care Bill
This bill will cost $940 billion over ten years and cover 32 million uninsured Americans. It will be paid for through a 10% tanning tax, ineligibility of Medicaid for illegal immigrants, and a requirement for all individuals to purchase health insurance or pay a $695 annual fine starting in 2014, with exceptions for low-income people. However, illegal immigrants will still not be allowed to purchase health insurance. The document discusses both sides of whether the bill is constitutional, arguing that it is because some cannot afford insurance but have a right to healthcare, and that it aims to insure 95% of Americans.
N.J. Health Reform update - 2019
This document summarizes New Jersey's efforts to reform its health care system and preserve the Affordable Care Act. It discusses the state's high health care costs and rates of uninsured prior to the ACA. The new law in New Jersey requires residents to have minimum essential health coverage, establishes a state-run health insurance exchange, provides reinsurance to insurance companies, and levies a tax on commercial policies to fund the exchange. However, the reforms do little to control escalating health care spending or prices in New Jersey. Challenges remain such as the potential for insurers to cherry-pick healthier customers through the use of stop-loss insurance.

Mike Astrachan The Global Financial Crisis
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are two institutions established by Congress to take on risk for almost half of U.S. mortgages by buying them or providing guarantees. They recently got into trouble and required a $200 billion bailout from Congress. An implied unlimited government guarantee led Fannie and Freddie to unlimited growth, and when governments distribute benefits without recording costs, the public will eventually pay dearly. Real house prices fell 15% as the economy began falling apart due to weaknesses in the legal and institutional framework governing the economic system.

The document summarizes key provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) signed into law by the President on January 2, 2013. ATRA made permanent the Bush-era tax cuts for individuals earning less than $400,000 annually and couples earning less than $450,000 while allowing rates to rise for higher incomes. It also altered capital gains and dividend taxes and estate taxes. The Act extended tax exclusions for employer-provided education assistance up to $5,250 and adoption benefits including tax credits up to $10,000. It also extended the parity between employer-provided mass transit and parking benefits. However, it did not extend the temporary payroll tax holiday that had been in place.2015 Willis Benefits Benchmarking Survey Report
The document is a survey report from Willis that summarizes the results of their 2015 Benefits Benchmarking Survey. Some key findings include:
- PPO/POS plans are offered by 87% of employers and are the most prevalent plan type. HSA-eligible CDHPs are the second most offered at 47%.
- On average, employers offer 3 or fewer medical plan options. The majority (85%) of employers offer 3 plans or fewer.
- Regionally, HMO/EPO plans are significantly more prevalent in the West, offered by 51% of employers in that region compared to 13-42% elsewhere.
Fiscal policy.docx
Discretionary fiscal policy involves changes to taxation and spending by the government to alter the size of the economy as needed. The two main tools are the tax code and the budgeting process. Congress decides discretionary spending levels through annual appropriations bills, with the military budget being the largest item. The unemployment rate increased 10 percentage points after COVID-19, so the government passed stimulus packages including direct payments, expanded unemployment benefits, and loans to support businesses and keep workers employed. President Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus package was approved by the Senate and aims to provide further funding for COVID response, schools, housing and nutrition assistance.
Governance healthcare financial lever
The document discusses India's policy journey towards establishing a national digital health ecosystem. Key events include the release of the National Health Policy in 2015, launch of the Ayushman Bharat program in 2018, and announcement of the National Digital Health Mission in 2020. Standards for electronic health records, metadata, and data dictionaries were drafted between 2008-2019 to enable interoperability. The National Digital Health Blueprint proposed an ecosystem approach with various building blocks like applications, standards, and an institutional framework. The financial lever of the government can support universal healthcare goals through a proposed health claims platform using e-governance and data analytics.
Stimulus Senate Power Point
The document summarizes provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and its impact on New York State. It allocates billions of dollars to New York for education, healthcare, unemployment benefits, infrastructure projects, and tax cuts for individuals and families.

Erin Skene Pratt Capitol Update One Pager
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act authorized $787 billion to stimulate the US economy, with the majority of funds for nonprofits available through existing formula programs and new competitive grants listed online. President Obama's budget may reduce tax incentives for charitable contributions over $250,000 to fund health reforms, potentially costing nonprofits $1.63-7 billion annually in donations. Michigan faces a $1.3 billion state budget deficit for this fiscal year and next, with proposed cuts including elimination of the Department of History, Arts and Libraries.

H.R. 6201 Families First Coronavirus Response Act
Introduction
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease in Wuhan, China, in December 2020 and its spread to other parts of the world has led to significant changes not only in the United States but throughout the world. Globally, the public sector and policymakers have faced the biggest test in generations. New policies have been necessitated by livelihoods and lives hanging in a delicate and terrible balance. Some of the policies put in place are meant to leverage collapsing economies, health cruses, political and social disruption (Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, 2020). The world economy has taken a nosedive. Some international bodies such as WHO and WTO have been working to mitigate the pandemic's adverse effects on a global scale. The script is not different in the national, state, and local effects of coronavirus disease. Both Federal and State Governments have been struggling to contain the spread and impact of the disease on the economy. The pandemic has scaled down economic activities. The U.S. economy has slowed down significantly. Unemployment is growing rapidly. The adverse effects have led to the enactment of several policies to mitigate the impacts (Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, 2020). One of the laws that have been enacted to mitigate the adverse effects of coronavirus disease on the Americans is The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R. 6201). This paper evaluates The H.R. 6201 and how it mitigates coronavirus disease's adverse effects on the Americans. That provides funding for Americans to be able to meet their basic financial needs. It increases funding for food stamps, paid leave (14 days) for those employees experiencing effects of coronavirus disease outbreak, and provides funding for free coronavirus testing areas. Additionally, the bill provides funding to mitigate the ongoing economic consequences of the pandemic, protect front-line health workers, expand food assistance to the vulnerable families and children, and support strong unemployment benefits, among other provisions. For our term policy modification paper we have proposed the following change: Propose Change
A change in our opinion is for the second stimulus to have been passed to all Americans because as of today people are still without a job and seeking. Those workers who have stayed with their jobs have been reduced in their benefits.
Companies with employees less than 500 should be exempted from paying leave to their employees while big companies having more than 500 employees should provide pay leaf otherwise the bill is unfair to small business (Hamilton, 2020)
The Act requires that the employers should provide Emergency Pa.

The adverse effects have led to the enactment of several policies to mitigate the impacts (Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, 2020). One of the laws that have been enacted to mitigate the adverse effects of coronavirus disease on the Americans is The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R. 6201). This paper evaluates The H.R. 6201 and how it mitigates coronavirus disease's adverse effects on the Americans. That provides funding for Americans to be able to meet their basic financial needs. It increases funding for food stamps, paid leave (14 days) for those employees experiencing effects of coronavirus disease outbreak, and provides funding for free coronavirus testing areas. Additionally, the bill provides funding to mitigate the ongoing economic consequences of the pandemic, protect front-line health workers, expand food assistance to the vulnerable families and children, and support strong unemployment benefits, among other provisions. For our term policy modification paper we have proposed the following change: Propose Change
A change in our opinion is for the second stimulus to have been passed to all Americans because as of today people are still without a job and seeking. Those workers who have stayed with their jobs have been reduced in their benefits.
Companies with employees less than 500 should be exempted from paying leave to their employees while big companies having more than 500 employees should provide pay leaf otherwise the bill is unfair to small business (Hamilton, 2020)
The Act requires that the employers should provide Emergency Pa.

Presentation by Bryan Dowd to the Minnesota Health Care Reform Review Council at the Minnesota Department of Revenue, St. Paul, MN, June 18 2009.
Professor Alejandro Diaz Bautista Pesentation UCSD May2014
The document summarizes Mexico's recent structural reforms across several sectors including telecommunications, financial, fiscal, energy, and political sectors. It discusses the goals of increasing competition, investment, and long-term economic growth. Key reforms include opening the oil and gas industry to private investment, strengthening an independent electoral commission, and establishing new regulatory bodies for telecommunications and financial sectors to increase oversight and reduce market dominance.
Thus Possibly Avoiding Legal.docx
The document provides an overview of key United States regulations that apply to the healthcare industry, including the United States Code, Federal Register, Code of Federal Regulations, and Tennessee state regulations. It discusses how these regulations establish rights for patients, provide guidelines for healthcare providers and administrators, and can help ensure compliance and avoid legal issues if followed properly. Adherence to regulations is important for maintaining funding and equitable care. The document also encourages public participation in the regulatory process.
Types of Public PolicyRegulatory PolicyRegulatory policy is desi.docx
Types of Public Policy
Regulatory PolicyRegulatory policy is designed to limit the actions of persons or groups so as to protect the general public or a substantial portion of the public. For example, people are prohibited from selling certain drugs, polluting the air and water, and engaging in monopolistic business practices. One form of regulation simply focuses on illegal criminal activity; it is a crime to do certain things. State and local governments have special responsibilities in this area, and certain federal agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration, are active here as well. Another form of regulation focuses on American business and seeks to ensure fair and competitive practices. Indeed, the first major regulatory effort in this country came in 1887, when the federal government created the Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate the railroads. Similar regulatory agencies today monitor securities (Securities and Exchange Commission), commodity exchanges (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), and labor relations (National Labor Relations Board), among others.
A modern regulatory area is concerned with access to certain goods available to the public generally, such as the airwaves (regulated by the Federal Communications Commission) or clean air and water (regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency). Other regulatory bodies focus on protecting health and safety in such areas as consumer protection (Consumer Product Safety Commission), air travel (Federal Aviation Administration), food (Food and Drug Administration), and workplace safety (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration).
Although federal regulation of economic activities has seen several waves of growth through the past century (Ripley & Franklin, 1987), the last two decades have seen somewhat of a movement in the opposite direction. Late in the Carter administration and extending through the Reagan administration, there were several efforts to deregulate certain industries. The Civil Aviation Board was disbanded in 1984, and over the following decade significant areas of transportation, telecommunications, and banking were deregulated. Moreover, regulations were eliminated or enforcement slowed down in areas such as workplace, auto, and consumer products safety.
During the 1990s, however, as many federal agencies relaxed their regulatory grip, a few attempted to expand their authority. The Environmental Protection Agency sought to set standards for pesticide and cancer risk, while the Occupational Safety and Health Administration created guidelines for reducing violent crime in retail locations open at night (Niskanen, 2001). The Food and Drug Administration attempted to expand its jurisdiction to the tobacco industry by establishing nicotine as a drug, which would have given federal regulators the power to control tobacco products. This move, however, was challenged by the tobacco companies, and in 2000 the Supreme Court ruled against the fed ...
AOF Webinar: Debt Ceiling
The document summarizes the Debt Ceiling Deal passed by Congress and its potential impacts. It establishes a bipartisan committee to cut $1.2-1.5 trillion in spending over 10 years, with automatic cuts taking effect in 2013 if no deal is reached. Many programs are exempt from these cuts, but discretionary programs and entitlement reforms are on the table. The deal could reduce funding for services like nutrition assistance and Medicaid, threatening vulnerable populations. Advocates encourage engaging with members of Congress to prioritize critical social programs in further deficit reduction efforts.

Stark_Whitepaper_April_2014
The US government has aggressively pursued False Claims Act litigation to reduce healthcare fraud, recovering nearly $3.8 billion in 2013 alone. Courts have accepted that Stark Law violations can lead to False Claims Act liability if they influence Medicaid reimbursement claims. Two recent cases found hospitals liable for millions after incentive compensation arrangements with physicians violated the Stark Law and False Claims Act. Healthcare providers should now undertake reviews of physician compensation and implement comprehensive compliance programs to mitigate risks of False Claims Act penalties, which include treble damages and penalties of $5,500-$11,000 per false claim.
Credit Caring Act
In May 2017, the Credit for Caring Act was introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. The purpose of the proposed bill is to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide a nonrefundable credit for working family caregivers. The bill (if passed) would increase the available tax credit for family caregivers up to $3,000 in a taxable year.

Litigating Under the Affordable Care Act
For attorneys who must litigate the Affordable Care Act, familiarization of its rules can be daunting and unforgiving. Personal instinct and legal experience in fields outside of health law can often be of little value, as contemporary health care law often appears to contradict business law. Drawing from a variety of legal concepts, this seminar will explain what happens when the worlds of health care and litigation collide. The lessons to be learned are to proceed with caution, and remember to honor and obey the newly laid hierarchy at the heart of this epic (and very long) reform law.
Flowchart
The document provides a cursory overview of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA):
- It establishes that PPACA is complex with over 159 new entities and will be implemented in phases over 4 years by the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury.
- There is skepticism around how well the bill was understood before being passed, as the House Speaker said to "pass the bill so you can find out what's in it" and the Senate Finance Chair suggested he did not read the entire bill.
- The document questions whether PPACA will truly reduce health care costs and preserve the concept of insurance covering only unlikely large expenses, rather than expected routine care costs.

The IRS released interim guidance on how certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act apply to expatriate health plans under the Expatriate Health Coverage Clarification Act of 2014. The guidance provides additional time for expatriate plans to modify their plans to meet exemption requirements under the new law. It also clarifies that the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute fee does not apply to plans that cover qualified expatriates as defined by the act. The interim guidance applies to policies issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2015 and plan years starting on or after that date.

- The document discusses communications that some employers have received from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding Transitional Reinsurance Fee (TRF) payments for 2014. These communications were inadvertently sent to some employers even when the insurance company had submitted the payment.
- CMS has provided guidance for employers to respond to these communications by indicating whether their insurance company submitted the TRF payment on their behalf. If so, employers will need to contact their insurance company for details on the payment submission to provide CMS.
- The guidance aims to help CMS reconcile records by confirming whether TRF payments were made for covered employers and collecting additional information from insured employers where

The EEOC published proposed rules on how Title I of the ADA applies to employer wellness programs that are part of group health plans. The proposed rules provide guidance to employers on how wellness programs can comply with ADA and HIPAA provisions. For a wellness program to be considered voluntary under the proposed rules, employees cannot be required to participate, cannot be denied health coverage or benefits for non-participation, and employers cannot retaliate against employees. Employers must also provide a notice to employees about what medical information is collected and how it is used and kept private.

According to the FAQ, final rules are intended to apply for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, and the new SBC template and documents will be finalized by January 2016 and apply for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The proposed regulations would amend previous SBC regulations and templates to make them more user-friendly.

The document discusses the current status of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) five years after its enactment. It covers three key areas: regulatory guidance, legal challenges, and legislative efforts to amend or repeal the law. Regarding regulatory guidance, employers are waiting for rules on provisions like the excise tax on high-cost plans and nondiscrimination requirements for insured plans. There have been several legal challenges to PPACA, with the Supreme Court upholding the individual mandate but limiting expansion of Medicaid. Congress has unsuccessfully attempted to fully repeal PPACA but has considered some amendments. Overall, PPACA continues to significantly impact employers as they comply with its provisions.
Health Care Reform Developments Week of March 9, 2015[1]
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in King v. Burwell, a case that will determine whether the Affordable Care Act allows tax subsidies for health insurance purchased through federal exchanges. A ruling for the plaintiffs could significantly impact employer penalties under the employer mandate by limiting penalties only to employees who receive subsidies through state exchanges, rather than federal exchanges used by many states. Employers should continue their compliance efforts and await the Supreme Court's ruling in late June before making any changes.

The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Treasury issued a FAQ clarifying when supplemental coverage qualifies as an excepted benefit. According to the FAQ, only supplemental group health coverage that does not include essential health benefits may qualify. The Departments intend to propose regulations stating that supplemental coverage filling gaps in primary coverage categories will only qualify if the benefits are not essential health benefits in that state. Pending rulemaking, the Departments will not enforce against supplemental coverage of non-essential health benefits that complies with existing guidance.

The Department of Labor, Internal Revenue Service, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have released their semiannual regulatory agendas outlining new regulations for the coming year. In a change, most of the anticipated new rules do not focus on implementing provisions of the Affordable Care Act as they have for the past five years. The agendas include only a few exceptions and are otherwise modest in terms of new health plan regulations. This may provide an opportunity for employers to review their compliance efforts over the past five years and prepare for potential increased agency audits by documenting their actions. The summaries highlight some areas where new guidance is being developed, including updates to COBRA and preventive services notices, clarification of wellness programs under the ADA

The spending bill passed in January 2015 included provisions modifying existing relief for expatriate health plans from many Affordable Care Act requirements. To qualify for this relief, a plan must cover qualified expatriates working abroad for at least 180 days or those whose skills require international assignments. It must also provide certain essential health benefits and comply with some pre-ACA requirements. Exempt expatriate plans are not subject to annual or lifetime limits, out-of-pocket maximums, or various individual and employer mandates. However, reporting under the individual and employer mandates is still required.

The IRS issued a notice warning that health plans not covering hospitalization or physician services do not provide minimum value as defined by the ACA. It advised employers currently offering such plans to exercise caution and announced plans to propose regulations stating such plans do not qualify. The notice provided guidance for employers with plans established before November 4, 2014, allowing them to continue such plans for the current plan year, but warned others not to adopt new non-qualifying plans for 2015. It also outlined disclosure requirements for employers regarding premium assistance eligibility.Health Care Reform Developments Week of November 3, 2014[1]
CMS has announced a delay in enforcing requirements for health plans to obtain and use Health Plan Identifiers (HPIDs) in transactions by the November 2014 deadline. This is due to a recommendation from an advisory committee that there is no clear need for HPIDs and replacing the existing payer ID system currently used would be disruptive. The delay allows HHS time to review changes to the HPID regulations regarding use in transactions and certification. Health plans should suspend applying for HPIDs until further guidance, but other HIPAA requirements remain in effect.

Health Care Reform Developments Week of May 4, 2015
- 1. - 1 - Willis Human Capital Practice, National Legal & Research Group On April 28, 2015, Representative Joe Courtney (D-CT) introduced a bill, the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act (H.R. 2050), to repeal the 40 percent excise tax on high cost coverage. The excise tax, commonly referred to as the “Cadillac tax,” is set to take effect in 2018. Representative Courtney’s press release is available here: http://courtney.house.gov/press-releases/courtney- announces-new-legislation-to-repeal-excise-tax-protect-workers-health-benefits. Representative Frank Guinta (R-NH) introduced a similar bill, the Ax the Tax on Middle Class Americans' Health Plans Act (H.R. 879), in February. It appears that the excise tax repeal efforts have strong bipartisan support. The excise tax, established under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 4980I, applies to "applicable employer-sponsored coverage" in excess of statutory thresholds (in 2018, $10,200 for self-only coverage and $27,500 for family coverage). The U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have not yet issued rules for complying with the tax. Notice 2015-16, issued by the IRS in February, discusses the definition of applicable coverage, how the cost of applicable coverage is determined, and the application of the annual statutory dollar limit to the cost of applicable coverage. The notice invites comments on these issues, as well as any others the public may have under §4980I (comments are due by May 15, 2015).
