Lessons 1, 2 and 3 on Healthcare
In this series of lessons, we began with a scenario where we had to provide free healthcare to one student with illness. We touched on some of the challenges facing healthcare systems across the world and looked at the examples of the US and the UK.
We finally moved on to the healthcare system in Singapore. We used the SAPEO acronym to recall the 4 key principles that have shaped Singapore's healthcare system, while learning about government initiatives such as Medishield, Medisave, Medifund and the different classes of wards in hospitals.

Healthcare Workforce
Q.1 What do you see as the biggest workforce challenge(s) for hospitals today? Are the issues any different for other types of healthcare organizations? What strategies are being used by hospitals for recruiting and retaining staff?
Government Programs
Q.2 What are the roles of government-sponsored healthcare programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs (VA), Indian Health Services (IHS), and Prison Health Services? How do they impact access, cost, and quality? Do these government programs do a good job of meeting the healthcare needs of the populations they are intended to serve?
Q.3 Write reply for below articles.
Professor and classmates, the roles of the government sponsored healthcare programs is to ensure that more than $500 billion invested annually in these programs is used wisely to reduce the burden of illness, injury and disability and to improve the health and functioning of the population. Their role is to also make sure that access to all these programs is available for the entire US in a low cost while offering high quality care. The government controls the prices through negotiation and regulation, it lowers administrative costs and forces hospitals and doctors to provide the same standard of service at a low cost. I believe that the government’s role is one that is changing over time due to it focusing on patient centered care. It basically means that access, cost and quality is respectful and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs and values. Its funding changes as the needs of patients care changes. We see that now money might be saved by telemedicine starting to become more and more popular. Before you would need to take your parent or a senior person to the doctor for a check up for example, but now you can do a virtual visit over the computer if it isn't something urgent and thus it saves more money than having to go into the clinic, it also reduces exposure to other people who might be sick if they go into the clinic.
Q.4 Write reply for the below articles.
What are the roles of government-sponsored healthcare programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs (VA), Indian Health Services (IHS), and Prison Health Services?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Source B: A comment by the retired and former Health Minister, Dr Toh Chin Chye, on the Medisave Scheme in 1983. With Medisave, people would have to take care of themselves. Sometimes, the financial burden would be transferred to their children when a person cannot pay his hospital bill. Worse of all, what about the people who cannot pay their hospital bills? Healthcare is the responsibility of the government. It is the duty of the government to find ways of using taxpayers’ money to meet different objectives. Moreover, smaller companies would find it hard to bear additional costs arising from Medisave.
