Welfare and Drug Testing Policy in the USAFaisal Farrukh
American Congress adopted the Anti Drug Abuse Act in 1988. In 1995 the policy was further refined and the government started implementing its drug free policy. The drug free policy enforce denial of federal benefits to users, possessors and traffickers from one to five years and the third timers permanently. This included grants, contracts, licensing, loans, but excluded welfare and public housing. In 1996 the government enacted Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, created Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to make people move from welfare to work, a mandatory state run drug test.

Political Parties in Texas/Party Platform
Both parties develop party platforms. These platforms may sound great but often do not go into the details needed to effect the actual policy. We will look at one policy position, health and examine the developments since this platform was written in 2012.
Start with the descriptions of Health Care from the respective parties on page 147.
Your book states the Democratic parties support universal health- care plan as permitted under the Affordable Care Act.
Your book states that the Republicans believe that health care decision should be between a patient and health care professionals and should be protected from government intrusion. It also states that the Republican Party demands the immediate repeal of the patient Protection and Affordable Care Act but does not state the replacement of the particular health care policy.
Background information:
An alternative to universal care through the Affordable Care Act are Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
Proponents of Health Savings Accounts believe it encourages people to be value-conscious shoppers in the health care marketplace. For example, a 2012 study from the Rand Corporation, a policy research institute, found that families with consumer-directed health coverage, like HSA plans, spent an average of 21 percent less the first year after switching from traditional coverage. And that if half of those with employer-sponsored coverage were in such plans, health care costs would fall by $57 billion.
Defenders of ObamaCare—including New York Times economist Paul Krugman—do not believe people can make value-conscious health care decisions. Their preferred option is to insulate patients from almost all costs of care—otherwise known as national health insurance— and then control costs by imposing price controls. ObamaCare doesn’t get them all the way there, but it’s a big step in that direction.
However, if individuals and businesses have access to HSA plans, that might help offset the health care spending explosion that ObamaCare creates. Even now health insurers are warning of quickly rising premiums under ObamaCare. So HSA plans may be the only “affordable” option.
The real question is whether health insurers will offer HSA options at a reasonable price. One of the dirty little secrets is that health insurers offer an HSA plan, but price it so high that the more expensive, comprehensive coverage looks like a better deal. The insurance companies approved of ObamaCare in exchange for the anticipated extra patients signing up. This however, does nothing to decrease the cost or increase the ability of the individual to make decisions outside of the insurance company. Recently we have seen the insurance companies asking to be bailed out
because not enough younger people have signed up to compensate for the elderly on the plan. In fact ,both Aetna and United Health Care have threatened to pull out of the health market in 2016/2017.
2016: What's Next for.
At our second Annual Health Law Year in P/Review event, the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School and the New England Journal of Medicine welcomed experts discussing major developments during 2013 and what to watch out for in areas including the Affordable Care Act, medical malpractice, FDA regulatory policy, abortion, contraception, intellectual property in the life sciences industry, public health policy, and human subjects research.
“In order to read the destiny of people, it is necessary to open the book of its past.”

Audit success comes from service, not from status. The true standards of audit practice are found within the auditor's character: honesty, integrity, self control and high ethical values. The printed standards are merely guidelines for trying to make the art of auditing into a profession. - Michael L. Piazza
Auditors must develop a reputation that proclaims that they know what they are doing... that their reviews are factual and unbiased... that they deserve to be respected... that they are professionals with professional qualifications. A fundamental key to audit success is the reputation for objectivity. That implies independence from activities reviewed. Complete independence is an unattainable goal while practical independence is not only possible but absolutely essential. - Larry Sawyer

The Law is a mighty machine.

It's no secret that the healthcare system needs some work. In fact, it's not really a system at all. It's confusing, it's difficult to navigate, and it's too expensive. When you combine that with some of the demographic trends that you see in our country — the population is getting older, we're experiencing more chronic disease — it gets even more complicated and more expensive. And consumer expectations are changing dramatically as well. So, this creates an opportunity for an organization like ours to lead this digital transformation.

I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives.

Maui GMO initiative - US DISTRICT COURT - HAWAII
1. MAUI GMO ORDINANCE – UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY AND ASK FOR!
Mark Sheehan, a member of the SHAKA Movement, told Civil Beat the group is planning to appeal.
“We are very disappointed that the constitutional rights of 23,000 people
here are being set aside by a couple of judges in Honolulu who I think
have completely misread the case,” Sheehan said. “This law was written
specifically because there was no state or federal law regulating
genetically modified organisms … The state and the county have the
responsibility to protect the health of the environment, which they’re not
doing.”

Civil No. 14-00511 Chief Judge Susan Oki Mollway/ Magistrate Barry M. Kurren.
Order Determining that The County of Maui GMO Ordinance is
Preempted and Exceeds the County’s Authority.
INTRODUCTION
Is a County of Maui Ordinance banning genetically engineered (“GE”)
activities and/or genetically modified organisms (“GMOs”) preempted by
federal and/or state law? Does the Ordinance exceed the County’s
authority? Those are the questions that the present order addresses.
2. As this court noted at the hearing on the motions now before the court,
none of the motions asks this court to determine whether GE activities or
GMOs are good, bad, beneficial, or dangerous. Nor do the pending
motions ask this court to address the value of voter initiatives to adopt
laws such as the Ordinance.
The court recognizes the importance of questions about whether GE
activities and GMOs pose risks to human health, the environment, and the
economy, and about how citizens may participate in democratic
processes. But any court is a reactive body that addresses matters
before it rather than reaching out to grab hold of whatever matters
may catch a judge’s fancy because the matters are interesting,
important, or of great concern to many people. This order is not an
attempt by this court to pass judgment on any benefit or detriment
posed by GE activities or GMOs.
Notwithstanding the concern that many people have expressed on
both sides of these issues, and the visible (and sometimes audible)
passion of members of the substantial audiences that have attended
hearings in this case, those issues are not before this court on the
present motions, and those who want those issues addressed must
seek means other than the present order to accomplish that. Similarly
not before the court at this time is the question of whether it might be
a good idea to allow the County to regulate GE activities and GMOs.
The motions now before this court can be ruled on based on an
examination of the laws in this area, without regard to political, medical,
economic, or other social concerns, as important as those are. Having
examined the applicable law, this court concludes that the Ordinance is
indeed preempted by federal and state law and does exceed the
County’s authority. The court therefore declares the Ordinance
invalid and unenforceable.
Chief Judge Susan Oki Mollway and Magistrate Barry M. Kurren are outstanding jusrists.
Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, San Francisco, California to reverse or remand
given the substance and thoroughness of the US District Court's decision, first and correctly deciding
on the “procedural” issue, is emotionally attractive.
The Chief Judge Mollway's decision is both instructive and insightful.
3. Recommended is a revisiting the past process and forging a new path. Highly questionable and
yet to be fully answered is whether the State of Hawaii and the County of Maui, through the passage
of clear and unambiguous laws, has fulfilled and continues to its public duty to protect the people.
Artfully crafted, manuevered, argued, and collectively focused by the legal teams, including
the County of Maui, the case was decided on the narrow and pivitol issue of Pre-Emption.
The Court's decision was, “based on an examination of the laws in this area, without
regard to political, medical, economic, or other social concerns, as important as those are.”
Maui County Isn’t Sticking Up For Its GMO Farming Moratorium
A Maui County spokesman said that it’s up to the SHAKA Movement to defend the bill
now that the group has intervened in a lawsuit.
“Maui County officials had previously promised that the county would defend the bill, despite Mayor
Alan Arakawa’s public disdain for it.
“We want to assure people that we’re taking this initiative very seriously,” said Managing Director
Keith Regan in a statement after the moratorium was approved. “The people have spoken and the
county is obligated to carry out their will.”
Maui County isn’t defending a moratorium on genetically modified farming despite more than 23,000
voters approving the bill last fall.
In a court filing Friday, the county said that it is taking “no position” on a motion for summary
judgment filed by attorneys representing global seed companies Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences, as
well as several Maui County businesses and organizations.
“The people of Maui passed this law through the proper ballot initiative power; the county attorneys,
as public servants, have a duty to defend it,” said George Kimbrell, attorney with Center for Food
Safety, in a press release. “This is highly unusual and reveals the power the pesticide industry has on
the island.””
