In 1798, Adams signed legislation requiring that 20 cents per month of a sailor\u2019s paycheck be set aside for covering their medical bills. This represented the first major piece of U.S. healthcare legislation, and the topic of healthcare has been woven into presidential agendas and political debate ever since.<\/p>\n<p>As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to provide expertise, guidance and\/or opinions on healthcare matters as they are debated for inclusion into new policy. You may also be involved in planning new organizational policy and responses to changes in legislation. For all of these reasons you should be prepared to speak to national healthcare issues making the news.<\/p>\n<p>In this Assignment, you will analyze recent presidential healthcare agendas. You also will prepare a fact sheet to communicate the importance of a healthcare issue and the impact on this issue of recent or proposed policy. <strong data-start=\"1922\" data-end=\"1942\">Prepare a 4-page<\/strong> comparative analysis and advocacy fact sheet on a health policy topic and presidential agendas.<\/p>\n<p>To Prepare:<\/p>\n<p>Review the agenda priorities of the current\/sitting U.S. president and at least one previous presidential administration.<br \/>\nSelect an issue related to healthcare that was addressed by two U.S. presidential administrations (current and previous).<br \/>\nConsider how you would communicate the importance of a healthcare issue to a legislator\/policymaker or a member of their staff for inclusion on an agenda.<br \/>\nNOTE to<br \/>\nUse your Week 1 Discussion post to help with this assignment.<br \/>\nThe Assignment: (1- to 2-page Comparison Grid, 1-Page Analysis, and 1-page narrative) with a title page. This is an APA paper. Use 2-3 course resources and at least 2 outside resources.<\/p>\n<p>Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid<\/p>\n<p>Use the Agenda Comparison Grid Template found in the Learning Resources and complete the Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid based on the current\/sitting U.S. president and the previous president, and their agendas related to the population health concern you selected. Be sure to address the following:<\/p>\n<p>Identify and provide a brief description of the population health concern you selected.<br \/>\nExplain how each of the presidential administrations approached the issue.<br \/>\nIdentify the allocation of resources that the presidents dedicated to this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis<\/p>\n<p>Using the information you recorded in Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid on the template, complete the Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis portion of the template, by addressing the following:<\/p>\n<p>Which administrative agency (like HHS, CDC, FDA, OHSA) would most likely be responsible for helping you address the healthcare issue you selected and why is this agency the most helpful for the issue?<br \/>\nHow do you think your selected healthcare issue might get on the presidential agenda? How does it stay there?<br \/>\nAn entrepreneur\/champion\/sponsor helps to move the issue forward. Who would you choose to be the entrepreneur\/champion\/sponsor (this can be a celebrity, a legislator, an agency director, or others) of the healthcare issue you selected and why would this person be a good entrepreneur\/ champion\/sponsor? An example is Michael J. Fox is champion for Parkinson\u2019s disease.<br \/>\nPart 3: Fact Sheet<\/p>\n<p>Using the information recorded on the template in Parts 1 and 2, develop a 1-page fact sheet that you could use to communicate with a policymaker\/legislator or a member of their staff for this healthcare issue.
