THE RED COLOR WHAT NEED TO BE FIXED. ADD EXAMPLE RELATIED TO HEALTH
Question 3
You are a special consultant to Anne Tistate, director of the Private Enterprise Restoration Project(PERP). PERP was created by private insurers to reduce governmental health care programs and promote private insurance.
Ms. Tistate has heard that some John Kingdon guy has a great way of explaining why some issues and policy ideas receive attention while others do not. She would like to know more about Kingdon’s ideas.
She also wants a strategy to erode confidence in the governmental health insurance system
and build up support for a completely private health insurance model.
Explain John Kingdon's "garbage can" model for agenda setting and formulation. While explaining the model be sure to use examples of how different elements can be linked to the health care issue. John Kingdon’s the Garbage Can Model for Agenda Setting and
THERE ARE THE MODEL
problem stream: the news" patterns in what tend to get attention.
-indicators: systematic evidence of passible problem. Example stock market
- focusing events: is very important, if your interest of health care, what topic will you chose? for example, healthcare shooting.
-feedback: positive mean more attention, negative means less attention. But doesn’t mean that the positive is good news, or the negative is bad news. The ideas of the feedback is what is get more attention. For example: It is like mother and childes. If the child did something and you give it more attention, the child will do it again for that attention.
- problem definition: very media sensitives: for example: what seems like it will work.
Policy stream: patterns in the idea and alternatives that arise an continue.
- technical feasibility
- fads
- change in public acceptances: things not acceptable. Things can't be change. For example: when people want to go back to Obama healthcare.
-technology: having a good technology about and for the health. example: internets to do medical things. (wears a FitBit to track his or her steps)
-affordability: how it can used in health care? By supporting the idea and saying it is a great to do it, but we cannot afford it. Because of that reason and other reason. That is the way to kill the good idea. Example: new health regulation
Political stream: electoral patterns and factors that effect opportunities to promote issue and alternatives.
- national mood: deep patterns regarding optimism of governments effectiveness.
-public opinion: immediate perspective on public opinion.
- electoral patterns: highly scheduled.
- interest group and sub-governments: the interest group go up and down. Interest group are often block consideration of proposals they do not prefer
-policy window: when stream can collect, or events create opportunity to promote problem, issue or policy alternatives. * can be random, such as diesters. * can be predictable: honeymoon periods. example: carry van, new regulation in new
Analyze the general usefulness of Kingdon’s model for PERP's purposes. How could this model help Antistate devise a strategy for reducing support for public health insurance?
