ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTION AND THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS or MORE)
CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE
The first argument that I have with Obamacare is that the “underlying behavioral issues contributing to healthcare expenses (e.g. obesity, diet, lack of exercise) besides tobacco smoking are not addressed by the ACA, and positive behaviors are not incentivized with subsidies” (www.healthpocket.com/). Obesity and childhood obesity are quickly becoming epidemic in the United States and Obamacare did nothing to address the issue.
The second argument against Obamacare is the fact that, “Individuals who do not enroll in health insurance will have to pay a penalty thru 2018″(www.healthpocket.com/). Yes, I know it is important for everyone to have health insurance, but it should be up to the individual and their family to decide. There could be underlying circumstance way they don’t have insurance. For example, they just may not be able to afford it or their job did not offer it.

Discussion 6210
Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) stated, “We need theories to guide our thinking and our work so that we may undertake research-informed practice” (p. 127-128). At the same time, the authors asserted, “No theory will be perfectly applicable. Perhaps you will decide that only one or two concepts make any sense to you in terms of working with clients” (p. 128). Though you may be able to apply only a few concepts in a particular theory to your work with clients, as a social worker, you should be applying evidence-based research to your work. Empirically-based developmental theories may guide you as you assess clients and their presenting problems. You may also apply developmental theories to your treatment decisions.
For this Assignment, you discuss theories of life-span development by evaluating a theory that seems especially relevant to you and your role as a social worker. Select a theory of life-span development to address in this Discussion. This may be a theory described in the resources of this course, or you may select a theory based on personal research. Locate at least one scholarly resource (not included in the course resources) that addresses the theory you selected.
Post a Discussion in which you analyze the theory of life-span development that you selected. Summarize the theory; then, identify the strengths and weaknesses of this theory, especially as it relates to social work practice. Explain one way you might apply the theory to your social work practice.

Budget Development
Overview
If your organization makes frequent business transactions, one of the tasks you face as a manager is budget preparation. A budget is a tool used for planning and controlling financial resources. It guides your future plan of action in financial terms within a set period of time. A budget does not have to be complex; however, it should support the organization’s strategic plan. We will need resources to achieve our goals and objectives.
For this assignment, you will focus on the operating budget. An operating budget shows the company’s projected revenue and associated expenses for an upcoming period—usually the next year. An operating budget starts with revenue and then shows each expense type. This includes variable costs—or the costs that vary with sales—such as the cost of raw materials and production labor. The operating budget includes fixed costs, such as the monthly rent on office space or the monthly payment for a photocopier lease. The budget also includes operating expenses, such as interest on business loans, and the noncash expense of depreciation. These items enable the company to compute its projected net income and net profit percentage.
Instructions
Imagine you are the health care administrator for a nonprofit clinic, home health agency, or outpatient surgery center. Your first task is to locate the strategic plan for that organization or determine its strategic direction through the vision statement, mission or purpose statement, and strategic priorities or goals. You will also need the audited financial statements for the organization.
Using the information from your research, develop a one-year operating budget for the chosen entity, which will include operating revenues and expenses. Include a 1–2 page document to justify the approach you use in constructing the operating budget with the strategic plan or strategic direction.
- Upload the strategic plan or strategic direction and audited financial statements as an attachment or include the Web link.
- Complete your operating budget using Excel.
- Support your work with at least three quality references, one being your course textbook. These should be cited per the Strayer Writing Standards.
