  • Utilizing Medicaid Demonstration Waivers to Help Address Soc…

    In December of 2021, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) received CMS approval for the CalAIM Section 1115 demonstration and CalAIM Section 1915(b) managed care waivers. This approval authorized $1.44 billion in one-time funding to aid in transitioning Whole Person Care and Health Homes Program pilots, which leverage care coordination and offer non-medical interventions from Medi-Cal 2020 to CalAIM. This approval also makes way for DHCS to address the needs of Californias most vulnerable residents, provide more equitable programs, and increase access across the state. Key provisions of CalAIM include community supports delivered through community providers; enhanced care management; delivery system transition and alignment; access to and transforming health supports; substance use disorder services and initiatives; supporting coordination and integration for dual eligibles; dental benefits; chiropractic services for Indian Health Service and Tribal facilities; and a global payment program. On any given night over 161,000 people are experiencing homelessness in California and there are stark racial disparities within Californias homeless population; Black people make up 39 percent of Californias homeless population while only making up 13 percent of the states general population. These racial disparities are connected to racist policies like redlining, which resulted in housing, economic, educational, and health inequities. Experiencing homelessness also puts Black people at an increased risk of being justice-involved due to the increased likelihood of interacting with law enforcement. A key aim of CalAIM is to address the needs of individuals experiencing chronic homelessness by providing them with enhanced care management and community supports that offer coordinated and community-based whole person care. Housing related community support includes assisting enrollees with finding and securing housing, assistance with Page 5 securing housing deposits and support maintaining stable tenancy once housing has been secured. In paying special attention to those who face the biggest barriers to accessing stable housing (i.e., those re-entering the community after incarceration) DHCS is better able to reach those most impacted to better ensure successful transition into safe and stable housing. CalAIMs goals to improve access to coordinated health and social services have the potential to positively impact the lives of Black people and promote their health and wellbeing, especially in relation to addressing homelessness and housing instability. Since launching in 2022, initial observations from the roll out of community supports and enhanced care management recognized the importance of outreach and engagement activities and the crucial role that community health workers, peer support providers and those with lived experiences play in engaging those who need these services most.51 Other states may adopt this type of strategy as a means to address social determinants of health in their communities.

Identify the major stakeholders and their influence. List stakeholders who support and do not support the bill (pro and con) and explain why they support or do not support the bill. Do a little research on a definition of stakeholders. Once you understand the meaning of it, you will be able to figure out who stakeholders on your bill (pro/con) are as well as interest groups. An example may be that the bill you selected is about Medicare coverage for antirejection medications for kidney transplant patients. Describe who would be interested (pro) in passing this bill? Kidney transplant patients, their families, nephrology physicians, advanced practice nurses, registered nurses, social workers who take care of those patients.

  • Media studies

    Everything is down below, Option B is the choice.

  • Argumentative Essay

    ASSIGNMENT: Write a 4-6 page (approximately 1000-1500 words) argumentative essay arguing one side or stance of an academically appropriate debate using the classical model supported by evidence and research. If the writing exceeds the 1500 word maximum, it will be returned back for revision.

    A. Directions

    Step 1. Choose a Topic

    Today, there are many different debates being had all around the world about topics that affect our personal, professional, civic, and/or academic lives. Some of these debates have been such hot topics for so long that it has become very difficult to add to the conversation with new and original ideas or stances to take. To move beyond this trend, we have created a list of topics that may not be written about for this Touchstone. This includes example topics that are used in Unit 4. Feel free to access a tutor if you would like support choosing a topic for this essay.

    Please AVOID choosing any of the following topics:

    • Abortion Rights
    • Animal Testing (Unit 4 example)
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Climate Change (Unit 4 example)
    • Belief in God(s) or Afterlife(s)
    • Death Penalty / Capital Punishment
    • Euthanasia / Assisted Suicide
    • Fad Diets (e.g., Keto, etc.)
    • Funding/Defunding Law Enforcement
    • Greatest of All Time Topics
    • Immigration
    • Legal Alcohol/Tobacco Age
    • Legalization of Marijuana
    • Legalization of Sex Work
    • Paying Student Athletes
    • Second Amendment Rights (i.e., Gun Control)
    • Social Medias Impact on Mental Health
    • Universal Healthcare
    • Vaccines

    Choosing to write about any of the above topics will result in returned Touchstone for a single chance to resubmit.

    Step 2. Write an Argumentative Essay

    Remember the word argument does not mean a fight in a writing context. An academic argument is more like a thoughtful conversation between two people with differing viewpoints on a debatable issue. However, you are required to take a position on one side of a debatable issue that is informed by academically appropriate evidence.

    For the purposes of this assignment, expressing or relying on your personal opinion of a debate is discouraged. Rather, the essay must argue one side or stance of the debate using the rhetorical appeals (logos, ethos, and pathos) and be supported by academic or scholarly sources. These include physical sources in public libraries, digital sources in academic libraries, online sources (excludes unreliable sources like procon.org and wikipedia.org, which are discouraged), and published expert reports, preferably peer-reviewed by experts in the field to maintain utmost credibility. Consider revisiting the tutorial for more information on appropriate sources for argumentative writing.

    Your submission must include an APA style in-text citations and a reference page following the essay. In your research, you will need at least 2 and no more than 4 credible primary or secondary sources to use as support in your essay.

    • All sources cited in the writing submitted must be locatable by a grader; include hyperlinks to the sources in the reference page.
    • The use of any source that requires payment for access is strictly prohibited for this assignment.
    • Avoid using sources that exceed 20 pages in length, as they may be overly extensive for the purposes of this assignment.
    • Including more than four sources may cause delays, and you might be asked to provide additional evidence of the credibility for each source.

    Thia will be helpful to you as you work on this assignment.

    Step 3. Think About Your Writing

    On a separate page, below your reference page, include thoughtful answers to the Think About Your Writing questions. References and Think About Your Writing questions are NOT included in the word count for this essay.

    Below your reference page, include answers to all of the following reflection questions.

    1. What have you learned about how to present a strong argument? How could/will you apply this knowledge in your professional or everyday life (3-4 sentences)? Sophia says: Think about the specific skills and techniques that you used while developing and writing your essay. What tools will you take with you from this experience?
    2. Consider the English Composition I course as a whole. What have you learned about yourself as a writer (5-6 sentences)? Sophia says: What did you learn that surprised you? Is there anything that you have struggled with in the past that you now feel more confident about?

    Step 4. Review Rubric and Checklist

    Your composition and reflection will be scored according to the Touchstone 4 Rubric, which evaluates the argumentative topic and thesis statement, argument development and support, organization, flow, research, style, use of conventions (grammar, punctuation, etc.), and your answers to the Think About your Writing questions above.
