Posting by Thursday.\u00a0 Response to two classmates by Sunday of this week.\u00a0 Reminder:\u00a0 Each posting must have two or more references.\u00a0 Make sure you review the discussion rubric.Review the following case study: You are volunteering at a health fair, doing blood pressures, blood glucose checks and nutritional education at a small Texas church.\u00a0 Larry visits and you take his blood pressure and do a finger stick.\u00a0 He tells you he is 52 years old, works as a mechanic, is married, and a father of three.\u00a0 You begin a discussion with him about his elevated blood sugar and blood pressure.\u00a0 Larry explains he cannot afford health insurance or medication.\u00a0 He said he also has a back injury, but just gets used to the pain because it is more important to have a roof over his family\u2019s head.\u00a0 He said he went to the doctor once and was given a cost, but it ended up being $300 more than he thought because the doctor added on additional tests.\u00a0 He says now he does not go to the doctor because not knowing how much is it going to cost is too stressful.\u00a0 Also, he mentioned he \u201cjust can\u2019t take the time off work.\u00a0 I don\u2019t get paid sick leave and when I take off, I lose income.\u00a0 Also, I have to get time off approved by my boss and my work schedule changes every week.\u00a0 Also, I feel like in health care,\u00a0 they\u2019re more interested in making money.\u00a0 They don\u2019t take the time to get to know me.\u201dAddress the following in your initial discussion post:Based on your readings and research, what advice would you give Larry?\u00a0 Provide options for him.\u00a0 Briefly but specifically describe the information you would provide in order to assist him.In three or four sentences explain the role the federal government currently plays in improving access to health care in the United States.Mention one recent key legislation either passed or currently being challenged surrounding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.At an organizational and policy level, what ideas do you have about how nurses can drive improvements in access and utilization of care, while improving quality of care, for uninsured Americans?\u00a0 Is it all about insurance coverage, or is there more to it in regard to root causes (social determinants)?https:\/\/ojin.nursingworld.org\/MainMenuCategories\/ANAMarketplace\/ANAPeriodicals\/OJIN\/TableofContents\/Vol-24-2019\/No2-May-2019\/Affordable-Care.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students
