This has put a lot of pressure on leaders to find the most effective solutions to the intricate challenges in the healthcare sector (Teel, 2018). Some of the challenges that leaders face include; healthcare rising costs, medicinal and technological challenges, and training and education challenges. Healthcare rising cost is a problem that is currently affecting many and it is projected that it is still going to be a challenge in the future. High healthcare cost is brought about by people striving to live longer, have an active lifestyle, and live a healthy life. Due to an increase in the demand for the above, the cost of health increases thus giving leaders a challenge in determining the most appropriate way to put prices on healthcare prices (Teel, 2018).

Exploring Sports Ethics, Drugs and Enhancement in Sport In sport, a broad array of substances with putative or established performance-enhancement properties has been used. Several elements in the game are entirely acceptable, while a particular set, which is revised annually, has been prohibited (Mottram, Mottram & Chester, 2018). Thus, the use of any of such banned substances in sport has been declared as generally cheating. In the progressively tolerant culture of technical human and pharmacological enhancements, the standard traditional normative method to sports anti-doping involves; advising athletes on why they should avoid expanding their athletic performance and ability deviating from otherwise positive values that have been attached to human enhancement and improvement in the society (Mottram et al., 2018). Today, Mazanov (2016) suggests that performance enhancement and doping have been the epitome of different normative expectations over the goal, that is, performance enhancement and the approaches by which such as a goal is attained probably by drug use. The elements of the player’s personality structure, together with the social setting, represent risk factors for drugs and body enhancement behavior in…
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring the safety and efficiency of new drugs before their introduction in the market. The FDA regulatory process takes considerable time and results in a drug lag before new medicines are introduced into the market. The regulation of drugs helps keep unsafe or ineffective medicines from the market, preventing loss of lives or adverse side effects. However, the delay in approval can keep safe and effective drugs from the market for a significant period or completely prevent the introduction. Many people may end up losing their lives because of a lack of access to these drugs occasioned by FDA bureaucracy. Information asymmetry occurs when one party in a transaction has greater material knowledge than the other party. Widespread information asymmetry in the pharmaceutical industry necessitated the expansion of the regulatory role of the FDA to guarantee the quality of new drugs. Drugs are classified as credence goods because customers require costly information to determine their safety and effectiveness. The quality of some drugs can only…
Social, Economic, and Foreign Policy During the Reagan Administration The New Right can be considered as one of the most redefined forms of conservative political activity. Their growth was significantly seen during the 196s and 1970s. That was due to the Young American for Freedom and College Republicans. The group was bothered with the rampant use of drugs, open and public displays of homosexuality, rising rates of crime, race riots, civil rights unrest, and protest movement because of the Vietnam War (Carter). They believed that all the issue that was rising in the country was due to Liberalism. It was a contributing factor to the mismanagement and corruption of the federal government. Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign is always seen as the cause of the rise of the New Right; hence the iconic hero is always considered as President Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan won the presidential elections in 1980, defeating liberalists (Carter). Modern American Conservatism brought on board some of the significant events, developments, and occurrences that had a direct impact on United States Conservatism. This paper will majorly focus on the social, economic,…
