In 2004, High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) came into being as an employer sponsored alternative to more traditional health plans. Since the passage of the Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act in 2010, there has been in increase in the volume of HDHP enrollments. At present, roughly 29% of the U.S. population is enrolled in a HDHP. These plans require employees to setup health savings accounts (HSA), which are pre-taxed dollars set aside to cover allowable healthcare-related expenses. In order for a HDHP to be considered a qualifying plan, there must be a minimum annual deductible and an out-of-pocket maximum. These amounts are typically adjusted upward by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to account for inflation.
Since the enrollees are taking on more of the financial risk through the higher deductibles, the monthly premiums tend to be lower than are typically associated with more traditional health plans. Since consumers are having to pay more out of their pockets to cover healthcare costs, they are becoming more price sensitive and inclined to shop around for best pricing from providers and provider organizations.
On January 1, 2019, the Inpatient Prospective Payment System rule went into effect, which requires hospitals receiving reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to post their standard procedure prices online. President Trump implemented this rule in an attempt to create a society of informed health care consumers. Now that consumers are becoming more cost conscious and expecting the best possible value for their dollar spent, providers and provider organizations need to reexamine their marketing strategies.

Post your Samuel findings:
Step 1: Looking Back: How did he get there?
Step 2: Looking Forward: Where is he headed?
Step 3: Class Discussion:
Samuel is a 56-year-old science teacher who both lives and works in Robbinsdale, MN. He and Lisa have been married for 7 years—not long after they met at a support group for widowed spouses. After Lisa’s son, now 23, moved away for college, Samuel and Lisa moved into a split-level condo so that there would be room for Samuel’s father to come live with them some day. Samuel’s father, once a Tuskegee Airman, is a quiet but fiercely independent man who has other ideas. His father’s current memory lapses, however, have Samuel concerned that his father probably shouldn’t live on his own much longer.
Step 1: Looking Back: How did he get there? 1. Based on his life story and the information in the “Housing Policies and Race Relations” historical chart, identify which policies/historical events likely influenced how Samuel arrived at his current housing situation. Be sure to also explain how and why these policies affected his trajectory to his current housing.
2. Based on his life story and the variables listed in “Factors That Impact Past, Current, and Future Housing” (e.g., income, educational level, health, race, culture, public policy), identify which factors identified in Samuel’s story likely influenced how he arrived at his current housing situation. Be sure to also explain how and why these factors affected his trajectory to his current housing.
3. Using the paper/markers provided, draw a visual representation of how you see the previously noted factors influencing Samuel’s trajectory/pathway into his current housing situation. Step 2: Looking Forward: Where is he headed?
4. Using the information identified earlier, consider what Samuel’s housing situation will be in the future (e.g., as he ages). What type of housing will it be? Why?
5. Using the paper/markers provided, draw a visual representation of what you anticipate Samuel’s future housing situation will look like. Be sure to include the trajectory/pathway you anticipate he will follow, as well as the factors (and their specific influences) that you expect will lead to his future housing situation. Step 3: Class Discussion:
6. Be prepared to describe/explain your group’s findings for Step 1 and Step 2, using the visual representations you have prepared: a. What do you see as the factors that led Samuel to his current housing situation? Why? b. What do you see as the factors that will lead to Samuel’s future housing situation? Why? c. What roles do public policies play in determining Samuel’s past, current, and future housing situations?
Red Yoder is an 80-year-old farmer who lives alone in the farmhouse where he grew up. It is located 20 miles outside of town. Red has been a widower for 10 years. His son Jon manages the farm now, but Red is still involved in the decision making. Red’s current medical problems include insulin dependent diabetes complicated by an open foot wound. He also has some incontinence and difficulty sleeping.
Red is awaiting a visit from the home health nurses. He relates that he has an open wound on his big toe that developed after walking in a new pair of shoes. When his daughter-in-law Judy saw the wound, she called the family doctor, who suggested a visit by the wound care nurse who works with the home health agency. Red agreed as long as his VA benefits cover the costs. Red is aware that his son and daughter-in-law have concerns about him living alone, but Red insists that while he needs a little help from Jon and Judy at times, he is still capable of caring for himself.
I understand you want to hear my story; well I’m not much for talking, but I can give you the highlights. There’s a lot that’s happened over my 80 years. From the top. My name is Sherman Yoder, but I answer to “Red.” No one around here even remembers my real name. I was born in this house in the downstairs bedroom. Mom had already delivered six kids and there was no way I was waiting for Dad to finish feeding the hogs and get Mom to town before I come out. Mom used to love to tell that story. Dad bought this farmhouse and the first hundred acres right before he went off to WWI. The folks saw good times and bad in this ol’ place and so have I. All my brothers and sisters left the land as soon as they could. I was the only one of the lot to care about this place and want to carry on what Dad started. I really haven’t gone far from this spot in my entire life. The one time I got it in my head to try something different; I wound up in Korea with an Army uniform on. I was glad to get back to this place after that stint and here I’ve been ever since. Married the neighbor girl Bessie when I got back. Her dad wasn’t so sure that it would work out since she was 8 years younger than me and she intended to go off to the state college. We sure did prove him wrong; we celebrated our 50th anniversary the week before Bessie died. The ladies at the church had the hall all decorated up and we brought Bessie home from the hospital for the afternoon. She was bound and determined to live for that day; no way did she want her friends to go to that much work for her to not show up. I couldn’t believe it when the ladies had to prepare for the reception after we buried Bessie in that same hall one week later. We had such a good life together. That was 10 years ago. I don’t do much of the farm work anymore. Our son Jon takes care of the crops and the few animals we have. I still go out to the hen house every morning to collect the eggs. I’m a little stiff in the morning, but I get loosened up enough to walk out to gather some fresh eggs to go with my bacon for breakfast. I get in to town at least once a week; on Monday morning me and my buddies meet at the VFW for our coffee and donut break. I get caught up on all the town gossip and we laugh and bellyache about what’s going on in the world. Three weeks ago I celebrated my 80th birthday. My daughter in law, Judy, organized a big “to do” at the church after the Sunday service with cake and ice cream and all the fixins’ for my party. I had a big piece of cake but skipped the ice cream. Doc Baker was there and I knew he would scold me about too much sugar. Six months ago he told me I had diabetes and I started taking a pill for it, but a few weeks ago he put me on insulin. I figure I should be able to eat what I want; come on, I’m not going to live forever, and it was my favorite cake, German chocolate. I ate it in the kitchen so the Doc wouldn’t see me; wouldn’t you know, his office nurse Helen came in the kitchen with a load of dishes just as I was putting the last bite in my mouth. She just winked at me and smiled. After the party I went out to the mall with Jon and the grandkids. I’m not one for shopping much, but I needed a new ink cartridge for my printer and the computer store is the one place I like to look around in. Too bad we parked clear on the other end of the mall so the kids could go by their favorite stores for Grandpa to buy them a little something. Jon got real mad at me when I asked if I could sit and rest for a while, so I just kept walking. I guess my new shoes were a little tight; I didn’t feel anything but when I got home there was some blood on my sock, and then I saw a sore on my big toe. It must not be too bad since it’s not hurting except when I try to put my shoes on. I showed the sore to Jon and Judy the other day and Judy said she would call the doctor to see what she should put on it. Jon gets so irritated when I need extra help; I hope I can just continue to soak my foot in hot water to clean it out. Judy was a nursing assistant out at the old folk’s home for many years; I’m hoping she will be able to help me with this. I like the idea of the home nurses coming out here as long as my VA benefits pay for it. That way they can see that I’m doing just fine living here on my own. I was searching on the Internet for the best way to treat this sore; there are so many sites that talk about foot sores if you’re a diabetic. Some of those pictures are pretty scary; I can’t sleep at night thinking about what could happen if this doesn’t heal. Of course I haven’t slept through the night for years. Even the couple of beers I have at night when I’m on the computer don’t seem to be helping anymore. Judy sometimes gives the kids Benadryl to help them sleep so I’ve been taking a couple when I go to bed; they seem to help me sleep a little better. As a matter of fact, I need to wrap this up now. I promised Jack, my grandson in college, that I’d Skype him in a few minutes. He just started the agronomy program at the university. I love to hear about what he’s learning and give him encouragement to come back to the farm.

Second monologue: Occurs two weeks later. “As much as I hate to miss it, I don’t think I’ll go into town today. I never miss Monday morning coffee at the VFW with my buddies. Sometimes my friends worry about me; they will probably wonder where I am. I know it’s only 20 miles, but I just haven’t felt like eating the last couple of days; maybe I’ve got the flu that’s going around. I’m not sure if I should take my insulin because I’m not eating, but my blood sugar was 203 when I poked my finger this morning. How can that be when I’m not eating? Wow! I just took of my sock to check on my sore and my whole foot is red and big. I haven’t looked at it for a few days; it was just a little pink the last time I checked it. I should have paid closer attention to those pills I was supposed to take, that antibiotic. The nurse wanted to make sure I didn’t get an infection in that toe. She comes tomorrow to change the bandage; I’d better make sure to take the antibiotic today.”
