There are different types of categorical grants that can be awarded. Categorical grants can be project grants, which are awarded competitively, or formula grants, which are distributed based on factors like population size. Categorical grants come with specific directives on how the funds must be used and require detailed reporting. They also can have cross-over or cross-cutting sanctions, where failure to comply with one grant's requirements can impact other federal grants. Project grants tend to be used for physical entities like health clinics. Block grants provide broader support but have less accountability. Some states may reject certain federal grants due to unfunded mandates that require state spending without financial assistance.

Public Services and the UK voluntary sector
The document discusses recent trends in government funding and delivery of public services in the UK. It covers:
1) How government funding has shaped the size and ecology of the nonprofit sector through statutory funding and delivery of public services.
2) That many nonprofits deliver publicly funded services but many others do not rely on statutory income.
3) Independence varies between organizations, with some more dependent on statutory funding from the government.
4) There are many different funding relationships between government and nonprofits, and services are delivered in various ways depending on local and central government funding.

Health Care Reform: A Review
An overview of the affordability provisions in reform: what they are, how the bills incorporate them.
Modifiable.coverage.gap.presentation
This document discusses Georgia's coverage gap under the Affordable Care Act and the opportunity to close it. Georgia currently has over 300,000 residents who fall into the coverage gap because they earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to qualify for subsidies on the exchange. Closing the gap would provide affordable health care access for these residents. It would also benefit the economy, health care industry, and workforce by creating jobs and new economic activity. Studies of other states that have expanded Medicaid found budget savings, reduced uncompensated care costs, and improved health outcomes.
Affordability and Lessons Learned from State CHIP Programs by Leigha Basini
This document discusses lessons learned from state CHIP programs regarding affordability and outlines approaches to defining affordability. It notes that when formerly free coverage costs as little as 1-5% of income, enrollment decreases significantly. The document then outlines current CHIP and ACA income eligibility thresholds and cost-sharing limits. It recommends that policies be flexible, consider the ramifications of cost increases, be consumer-focused, align across programs, and be results-driven.

Kinship Advocacy in New York State
The document discusses New York state's proposed budget for kinship care programming for 2011-2012. It proposes lumping various programs including kinship care together and cutting total funding to 50%, leaving distribution of funds up to local municipalities. This proposal lacks details on funding levels for kinship care and how programs would be evaluated. It could result in current programs closing or having uncertain future funding. Advocates plan to provide information to kinship care programs, launch a website for updates, meet with legislators, and begin a press campaign highlighting that kinship care saves the state money compared to foster care. They are asking that 10% of the proposed funding be dedicated to kinship programming.
MedData Compassionate advocacy eBook
This document discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has increased financial hardship for patients and challenges for healthcare providers to collect payments. It suggests that hospitals can improve patient experiences and reimbursement results by adopting a more compassionate and flexible approach to collecting self-pay debts that prioritizes the patient relationship. Specifically, providers are making changes like offering more payment options, adjusting bad debt policies, and increasing efforts to identify uninsured patients in response to the pandemic's effects.
Obamacare: What is in it for millions of poor American?
The document discusses key aspects of Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) and its impact on healthcare coverage for millions of poor Americans. It explains that Obamacare expands Medicaid eligibility and creates online marketplaces to provide coverage for up to 32 million uninsured people. However, an estimated 23 million will still lack insurance by 2019. Obamacare also prohibits denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions but does not mandate insurance. While it aims to expand access, critics argue it fails to achieve universal coverage or effectively control costs.
Key health care reform timeline gra panel
The document outlines key provisions and timelines in the Affordable Care Act from 2010-2015, including establishing temporary high-risk pools in 2010, expanding Medicaid eligibility and establishing health insurance exchanges in 2014, and requiring minimum loss ratios for Medicare Advantage plans and studying affordable coverage options in 2015.

Mullins medicaid
- The number of Alabama citizens enrolled in Medicaid increased 33% between 2001 and 2010, and Medicaid now consumes about 35% of the state's general fund budget. If current trends continue, Medicaid would require 92% of the general fund by 2020.
- Medicaid has a significant economic impact on Alabama, supporting over 143,000 jobs and over $3 billion in income through both direct and secondary effects.
- Updated technology, more primary care providers, and health information exchanges are needed to manage increased enrollment from the Affordable Care Act and develop the state's health insurance exchange.

Hirasuna Presentation On Earned Income Credits Use By Durrent And Former Welf...
This document analyzes Minnesota's Earned Income Credit program and its utilization by current and former welfare recipients. It finds that while 37.7% of recipients receive the credit, 64.6% participate. It also finds that utilization increases with time and income, and those with lower education and non-white groups utilize at slower rates. The analysis provides important information about a program that involves significant money and people, and whether earned income credits are effective.
CCXG Global Forum March 2018 Finance received and needed by Antwi-Boasiako Amoah
Ghana receives climate change financing from both international and domestic sources through a variety of state and non-state actors, largely at the project level. Between 2011-2014, Ghana received international climate financing through multilateral channels like the World Bank and UNDP, as well as bilateral sources. Domestically, Ghana invests its own resources in direct climate programs. Accurately tracking financing remains a challenge due to the many actors involved and difficulty obtaining data from non-state actors like the private sector. Improving common reporting frameworks, capacity building, and centralized databases could help strengthen Ghana's climate finance reporting.

Financial Aid 101
This document discusses types of financial aid including grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study. It outlines the main sources of financial aid which are the US Department of Education, the State of Minnesota, higher education institutions, and private sources. Key federal programs are listed along with the main Minnesota state programs. An example is provided to illustrate how Minnesota State Grant awards are calculated based on tuition/fees, living expenses, and expected family contributions.

Issue 4 Funding Streams
This document provides an overview of several major federal funding streams available for the creation of housing and services. It describes programs like the Supportive Housing Program, Shelter Plus Care, Emergency Solutions Grants, HUD-VASH, HOPWA, HOME Investment Partnership Program, Housing Choice Vouchers, and Section 811 Supportive Housing for People with Disabilities. Eligibility and purposes vary between programs, which may support individuals, families, veterans, or people with disabilities or HIV/AIDS, and can fund housing development, rental assistance, services, or home repair/purchase assistance.
ACA Medicaid Presentation--Brian Blase
The document summarizes evidence that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has exacerbated Medicaid's existing structural problems. It notes that ACA Medicaid expansion incentives have led to higher-than-expected enrollment and spending. States receive a higher federal matching rate for expansion enrollees, creating an incentive to increase fees and payments for their care while favoring them over traditional enrollees. Open-ended federal reimbursement also makes Medicaid difficult to cut. The document also cites rising improper payments, crowd-out of private coverage, and lack of clear health benefits as ongoing problems. It calls for states to resist expansion and support reforms that reduce federal control over Medicaid.

Gov't foundations ii
The document discusses how the Founding Fathers viewed democracy and sought to design a system of government that balanced it with republican ideals. It notes that they were wary of "mob rule" and wanted to protect individual and minority rights. The document outlines how thinkers like Montesquieu and Madison helped resolve the conflict between democracy and republicanism by creating a representative democracy with separated powers, rather than a direct democracy.
More Vital On Interest Groups
The document discusses different tactics used by interest groups to influence policymaking, including litigation, campaign contributions, and grassroots lobbying. Litigation is used by groups that lack popular support or legislative influence, or deal with issues of rights. Campaign contributions are used by groups with financial resources that need access to candidates. Grassroots lobbying is used by groups with popular support but lack of funds, as it requires fewer resources and encourages democratic participation. Examples of groups that use these techniques include the Sierra Club, NAACP, AMA, and NRA. The document also compares the goals of interest groups, which is to influence policy, versus political parties, which is to elect candidates to office. Interest groups support parties to gain access to policy
World in 1500 asia 2011 2012
In 1500, China was one of the most powerful empires in the world due to its advanced technology and resources. However, the Chinese emperors believed themselves superior to outsiders and had little interest in foreign trade or influence. This isolationism would later cause China to fall behind the rapidly expanding European powers. Europeans wanted goods like porcelain, tea, and gunpowder from China, but trade was restricted. China only allowed limited trade in coastal enclaves and did not modernize or open up until later. Japan was also isolated under the Shogun Tokugawa during this time, and the Shogunate viewed foreign influence warily.

Baker v carr
Baker v Carr 1961 established that courts could determine if legislative districts were constitutionally apportioned based on population. This led to most states having to redistrict to comply with the "one person, one vote" standard, shifting political power from rural to urban areas. Later, Reynolds v Sims 1964 mandated that legislative districts be roughly equal in population. States now often create minority-majority districts to give minority groups fair representation. Redrawing districts every 10 years based on census data is important for protecting incumbent representatives who have over a 98% re-election rate.
Actually Getting A Bill Passed
The document discusses the legislative process in Congress. It covers how bills move through committees and staff, the role of floor debates and filibusters, and ways that bills can be voted on or stalled. Methods to end a filibuster like cloture are mentioned. Recent polarization and fewer moderates in Congress are said to have increased gridlock and the use of filibusters. The Clean Air Act is given as an example of a bill that went through the full legislative process.

The document discusses the foundations of the American system of government and key influences on its development. It examines concepts from ancient Athens and Rome like democracy and republicanism that were influential. It also analyzes documents like the Magna Carta, English Petition of Rights, and English Bill of Rights that protected rights and limited monarchal power. Philosophers like John Locke, who proposed theories of natural rights and social contract theory, are discussed as being highly influential on the Declaration of Independence and American principles of government.
Gerrymandering And Pork Spending
The document provides information about the structure and processes of the US Congress. It summarizes that the House has 435 members with 2-year terms who can only serve on one committee, while the Senate has 100 members with 6-year staggered terms who can serve on multiple committees. It discusses how gerrymandering involves manipulating district boundaries for political advantage and how courts have attempted to limit extreme gerrymandering. It also notes that earmark spending, while controversial, can direct funds to needed projects and amounts to a small portion of total spending.

World in 1500 ottoman
In 1500, the Ottoman Empire was the largest and most powerful empire in the world. It spanned three continents and was ruled by a single family for seven centuries. The empire was centered in Istanbul and controlled important trade routes between Europe and Asia, including the Silk Road. It had a highly centralized administrative system and strong military, contributing to its political and economic dominance over much of the 15th and 16th centuries. The empire was also religiously tolerant and encouraged cultural mixing and innovation.

1. It outlines three types of essays - formal essays, thesis papers, and free response answers.
2. It gives tips for answering questions such as reading carefully, identifying key issues, and underlining operative words.
3. It includes sample questions, rubrics for scoring responses, and general tips for writing effective essays.
Elections, Nominations & Voting Revised
The document discusses the nomination and election process in the United States. It covers the primary system where voters select party nominees, the role of caucuses and conventions. It also discusses campaign strategies, financing, and factors influencing voter turnout and choices such as party identification, candidate evaluations, and policy positions.
Political Parties
The document discusses the changing role and future of political parties in the United States. It suggests that parties may become less important as candidates can now directly access voters through television and the internet. However, others argue that Barack Obama's election showed the continued importance of the Democratic Party. The future of political parties is uncertain as their role in the electoral process has declined but they still perform important functions in candidate selection and policymaking.
Unit3 Federalism
This document discusses the concept of federalism and the division of powers between the federal and state governments in the United States.

Ap Mass Media
The document discusses the role of mass media in politics. It explains that modern political success depends on controlling the media image. Politicians use media to communicate their messages to the public and control the flow of information. The media acts as a gatekeeper that sets the political agenda, influences public opinion, and monitors politicians. However, media reporting is also a business influenced by profits, ownership, and biases that can shape what stories are covered and how they are presented.

Key Ideas
Experts disagree on whether aid improves health
Aid comes in different forms: humanitarian assistance, bilateral aid, multilateral aid
Donors’ use of conditions and tensions between aid to governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are contentious
Types of Aid
International: transfer of funds from one entity or government to another across borders
Individual donations to Doctors without Borders
Humanitarian: funds to alleviate immediate human suffering
Official direct assistance: from official source to another country; grant, loan, or goods
Bilateral: one government to another
Multilateral: through an intergovernmental organization
Remittances: informal aid to relatives in another country
The US and International Aid
US government contributes 0.2% of GNP to international aid
Lower than most other industrialized nations as a percentage, but largest absolute amount
Below UN target of 0.7%
When individual citizen donations to NGOs are included, US is largest contributor
General belief in US that NGOs are better equipped to handle humanitarian issues than US government
The Aid Controversy
Some experts question whether aid helps or harms low income countries
Question relates to governmental and NGO aid
Fosters dependency, complacency, corruption?
Some countries that have historically received aid have poor infrastructure
Beneficial but used inefficiently?
Beneficial and needs to be increased?
Models of Global Aid for Public Health
Ex ante model: no prescriptions for public health; imagine making decisions prior to being born into a specific set of circumstances
Sachs model: did projects should be pooled to work synergistically
Health cannot be created in unhealthy environments
Institutional approach to policy making: emphasizes local service delivery over specific projects
Argument: Aid is Harmful
Prominence in 1960s based on work of Milton Friedman and Peter Bauer
Foreign aid strengthens governments that are already too powerful; too little investment in private organizations
Aid abdicates governments from their responsibilities if NGOs provide basic services
Official direct aid fosters dependency, corruption, and poor governance
Economies should be allowed to develop naturally
Argument: Aid is Poorly Managed
Aid is not inherently harmful but allocating it in context-appropriate ways is challenging
Can create wage disparities in local economies
Difficult to recruit top managers to low income countries with low salaries
Large number of NGOs with potentially little coordination between them
Some may not have knowledge of local culture
Argument: Aid is .

Controlling the cost of medicaid
The article discusses proposals to reform Medicaid in the U.S., including the House bill that would cap federal Medicaid funding. This could lead to a 26% reduction in federal support by 2026 and unprecedented financial risk shifting to states. The article argues that Medicaid reform proposals should consider the realities of the program, including that most enrollees and spending are for non-disabled adults, children, and older/disabled adults. It suggests bipartisan reforms could focus on increasing state flexibility, integrating physical and behavioral healthcare, and addressing high prescription drug costs. Overall, the greatest benefits will come from acknowledging Medicaid's successes and weaknesses to pursue tailored policies.

The Determination of Eligibility for Medicaid
Introduction
The social health care program, Medicaid is aimed at providing health care services to the needy and those with disabilities in the United States. The Act should provide the state with the way forward or criteria to be followed in selecting the people who are to benefit from the social health program. However, over time, it has not been clear to every American citizen as to which criteria should be used in determining the needy in the society. In particular, it has been challenging on selecting the eligible citizens for the program with a focus on the level of income and the level of expenditure. For instance, the issue of “spend down” periods has posed a lot of difficulties in determining the eligibility for Medicaid. A way great issue regarding the funding, expansion, and determination of eligibility for Medicaid includes the requirement by the Supreme Court in the United States for regions such as Massachusetts to contribute the six months’ excess income towards medical expenditure before the Medicaid coverage program begins in such regions. This paper seeks to explain the issue of Medicaid coverage and the eligibility of the different level of community members. It also explores the level of government affected by the issue as well as the analysis of the eligibility of Medicaid.
Economic Issue
The social health program (Medicaid) requires adequate funding in order to cover effectively a large and needy population. While it would be more beneficial to expand the program to the other categories of people in the society such as those with disabilities, there should be constant and enough supply of funds both from the government and the good wishers such as donors to help reach out every needy member of the society. Inadequate funding is an issue since there is a large percentage of people who need medical assistance and cannot afford it unless they get subsidized medical health care or fully assisted by programs such as the Medicaid (Ford, Spicer, & Institute of Medicine (U.S.), 2012).
Coupled with the low income of most of the society members, it is clear and evident enough that the majority of the people in the United States value social programs such as Medicaid. However, failure to adequately fund the program has only led to development and implementation of strict procedures and regulations in determining those who are eligible for the program. In particular, the six-month spend down period has resulted in more complex procedures, some of which are neither clear nor understandable to society members. The methodology used has never been friendly to the low-income people; the approach involving spend down for ...

Florida Medicaid Reform Facts Flaws
The document summarizes Florida's proposed Medicaid reform plan, which includes shifting Medicaid recipients into private managed care plans through an 1115 waiver approved by the federal government. Key points of concern discussed are that the waiver lacks important operational and budget details, there are questions around how savings will be achieved, and shifting people to managed care does not necessarily reduce costs. Concerns are raised that the proposed reforms could reduce services and shift costs to other groups. The document calls for slowing down approval of the waiver until more details are available to properly evaluate the impact of the proposed changes.
