Please read the New York Times article “Private Equity Pursues Profits in Keeping the Elderly at Home” as a starting point for thinking about the issues regarding government’s involvement in healthcare. You should also reference the Affordable Care Act review video, the article “The U.S. Affordable Care Act: Reflections and Directions at the Close of a Decade,” and the article “Affordable Care Act at 5 Years,” but you may also include other relevant academic research that you have found.
Each written assignment in the course should contain the following elements:
