Key Assignment

Many people throughout the United States face significant barriers to  health care access. As policy makers and other stakeholders consider  ways to address challenges related to access to care, one key area of  focus involves those who lack insurance or have inadequate coverage  through insurance. Submit a PowerPoint presentation of 15–20 slides in  which you address the following:

• Consider the different stakeholders and perspectives impacted by  health policy. How does access to insurance differ from access to care?  Provide 1 specific example from your personal or professional life or  from current events to support your response, and explain why this  distinction is important.  
• How does the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of  2010 address access to insurance? What do you see as the ultimate goal  of expanding insurance coverage?  
• If access to insurance coverage and medical care are increased  through health care reform, what unanticipated consequences might arise?  List the consequences associated with health stakeholders and  perspectives. 

Note: Your presentation must be formatted in APA  style with 4 quality references, 2 of which are peer-reviewed sources  from health care journals.
