In this final project, imagine that you are the chief executive officer (CEO) of your health organization and that you are asked by your organization's board of directors to prepare a policy proposal to be submitted to your local area's congressperson.

In this policy proposal, you are defending or challenging the policy mandate, or both. You need to use the information that you have learned over the past weeks about healthcare management in the United States to address the following:

• From your research over the course of the last few weeks, assess what impact you think the changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or current legislation will have on the uninsured population in your local community or region.
• Evaluate and prioritize the importance of the provisions studied in previous weeks (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, and the individual mandate) from the most important to the least important. State the reasons you ranked the provisions in the order you presented.
• Analyze the potential success or failure of this Act and changes based on your organization and your local healthcare needs. Justify your opinion.
• Discuss future implications of this Act's success or failure.
• Recommend policy updates, changes, revisions, and so forth to the PPACA or current legislation that will address the opportunities and challenges that your organization and local community may deal with.

Note: Your policy proposal should be 5–7 pages, not including the title page and the reference page, and formatted in the APA style, and it should include 8 quality references, 4 of which are from peer-reviewed healthcare journals and published within the last 5 years.
