Week 8 Discussion: Role of Government in Providing Health Care
Due: A discussion thread is designed to be an informal paragraph-style. A professional post must include research which is proven by summary, paraphrase, and quotations. Integrate your research with professional opinions and experiences. All research must be proven by in-text citations matching your reference list and formatted using 7th ed. APA.
The discussion board closes weekly on Sunday by 11:59 PM (Denver, MT). No late posts will be accepted without prior approval. Please reach out to your instructor in advance (if possible), to request an extension if you have extenuating circumstances and are unable to meet deadlines.
Step 1: Initial Main Discussion Thread
Post your Initial Main Discussion Thread no later than Wednesday night by 11:59 PM (Denver, MT). The week closes Sunday 11:59 PM (Denver, MT). If you submit your Initial Main Discussion Thread post late, a 10% penalty will be applied.

Read the following quote by Hubert H. Humphrey, United States politician (1911-1978).
- “It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”
Respond to the following prompts using at least TWO reliable, evidence-based, and professional resources integrated with your personal experience. It is recommended that students do not read peer posts before submitting their initial discussions. Your Initial Main Discussion Thread should include the following:
- How have you seen the current health care system integrate this ideology?
- What observations have you had in your clinical or personal experience to support statement?
- How have you seen our current medical system neglect or support this mindset?
- Using reliable research, create one evidence-based intervention that would integrate this mindset into one aspect of the nursing profession.
