This discussion presents the opportunity for you to address the inequality of access to health care in the United States using moral and ethical reasoning.There is overwhelming evidence that social inequalities affect health outcomes. Many argue that lack of health care access due to poverty is a human rights concern in the United States that should be subject to public and social justice inquiry. As such, the Affordable Care Act was implemented to promote health equity. While there are some that have reported favorable outcomes with respect to health care access, others have reported unfavorable experiences.

What is your perspective on the ethics of providing universal health care to all U.S. citizens, and how well do you think the Affordable Care Act has addressed this cause? Prepare an academically-informed post to address this question. In doing so, consider both the ethical and moral reasons for supporting the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and also a possible shortfall or problem with this policy.You may talk about your own experiences( I don’t have any experiences with Affordable Care Act because I have health care through work so just use academic research) but must also use academic research to support your arguments.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required resources and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style

I have attached chapter 5 from the text book.

The purpose of this discussion is to offer you the opportunity to debate the issue of food justice and food deserts. Food deserts are significant issues in poorer neighborhoods in the United States. In many of these neighborhoods, the only access to food is through local convenience stores or fast food restaurants. This severely limits the options for the poor to have access to fresh, wholesome food and has been evidenced as a key reason for the obesity epidemic in the United States. This issue is encompassed in the overarching topic of food justice, which also highlights public access to genetically modified or organic foods and the issues of equal access to positive food options in light of public health and social inequality. Prepare and post a response to the following prompt:

Read the Hilmers article, Neighborhood Disparities in Access to Healthy Foods and Their Effects on Environmental Justice. Assume that your town is a food desert and you would like to do something about it. Prepare an argument to present to your local town council that outlines an idea to offer healthy food options to your town.Use at least one ethical theory or perspective to support the moral or ethical reasoning for why this program should be implemented.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required resources and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style

Assignment 1: Budget Planning and Control Due Week 8 and worth 200 points Before approaching this assignment, be sure that you have watched the following video: • Wiley (2011, September 28). Budgetary planning featuring Babycakes *full video* [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frh3I2rVDzs Babycakes, a specialty bakery, is the company that will be considered for all parts of your budget planning and control report. For this assignment, you will develop a 3–4-page paper in which you address the following. 1. Briefly discuss the ways a realistic budget will benefit the owner of Babycakes versus no budget at all. Be sure to use Babycakes as the company and any specific product details in your explanation. 2. Prepare a sales budget for the LA Babycakes store for the fourth quarter of 2016. Present the number of units, sales price, and total sales for each month; include October, November, and December, and the total for the quarter. Use one half of the Valentine’s Day sales as the basis for a usual day in the new quarter. Use 30 days for each month. Calculate the total sales for each month for October, November, and December. 3. Create three new products, one for each of the three holiday seasons in the fourth quarter. Estimate the sales units, sales price, and total sales for each month. Describe the assumptions used to make these estimates. Include an overview of the budget in the report, presenting the actual budget as an appendix with all the data and calculations. Add these amounts to your sales budget. 4. The owner of Babycakes is interested in preparing a flexible budget rather than the static budget she currently uses. She does not understand why, when sales increase, her static budget often shows an unfavorable variance. Explain how a flexible budget will overcome this problem. Use the details of your newly prepared budget for the fourth quarter of 2016 to address her concern. 5. Imagine that Babycakes is facing a financial challenge that is causing the actual amount of money that it spends to become significantly more than its budgeted amount. Include a discussion of your own unique cause of the overspending. Explain the corrective actions needed to address these challenges. 6. Integrate relevant information from at least three quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Please do not use your textbook as an academic resource.

 There are 1-2 page journal reflections assigned for every reading

assignment. Students are required to reflect upon the reading material. Each journal entry must include

quotes from the reading that was assigned that week. Reflections should include a very brief

description of the main thesis in readings but MOST of the journal entry should focus on drawing out

certain themes that incited their emotions, insights, thoughts, and/or curiosities.

One of the concepts covered in this week’s readings from the textbook is economies of scale. First, provide definition of economies of scale and how this concept is tied into a firm’s production costs. You can also cover any related concepts such as economies of scope, diseconomies of scale, etc. in your discussion.

Next, read this article that highlights the concept of economies of scale in start-ups. What points raised by the author did you find to be particularly helpful (or not helpful) in thinking through this issue? Do you have any points of disagreement with the author?

Finally, provide your own example of a company that you think has achieved economies of scale, economies of scope OR diseconomies of scale. Discuss why you think the company has achieved this position and what you think are the main factors to consider as the company looks to the future.
