Which administrative agency would most likely be responsible for helping you address the healthcare issue you selected?
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) will be recommended since it supports and leads research to help make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, more equitable, and more affordable. Also, this agency works with other HHS agencies to make sure the research concerning health insurance and accessibility is properly understood and used (Konisky & Woods, 2018).
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) was recommended since this works towards improving access to quality health care for those who are uninsured or living with HIV/AIDS and for pregnant women, mothers, and children (Health insurance, 2018). Also, this agency funds community-based health centers serving those most in need.
None of the administrative agency was recommended since the reforms concerning healthcare insurance and accessibility were not implemented.
How do you think your selected healthcare issue might get on the agenda for the current and two previous presidents? How does it stay there?
Considering the impact of health insurance and accessibility to American citizens, President Trump agenda is to ensure all Americans are not subjected to insurance by repealing the ACA (Health Care, 2017).
Health insurance and accessibility has been an agenda on President Obama administration since he promised legislation to extend health care coverage to the uninsured and curb the rising cost of health care for everyone. To ensure this was implemented, Obama signed into law the Affordable Care Act.
Since Clinton felt passionately about the fact that 60 million Americans did not have adequate health insurance, his agenda was to ensure all Americans were given affordable care services through reforming healthcare proposals.
Who would you choose to be the entrepreneur/ champion/sponsor of the healthcare issue you selected for the current and two previous presidents?
The Senate will be considered as a champion towards addressing the issue of health insurance and accessibility since they have power and influence that can be used when formulating policies and reforms, towards improving care outcomes.
