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.

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.
