The department head on this unit has been tasked with the reduction of cost due to the new healthcare reform and to increase patient quality and outcomes.

In 2012 the Supreme Court resolved a case where Florida sued the Federal Government over the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. Florida believed the Federal Government had overstepped its allocated powers granted to it by the constitution. Specifically article 1, section 8, known as the Spending Clause, which gave the government the power to grant money to the states and tell the states what to do with said money (Jefferson, 1787, p. 25). Florida’s issue arose in the fact that the Affordable Care Act provided no additional funding and the government has no right to tell the states how to spend their own wealth.

With the transition of a new President and Administration one can only think of how our economy will be in the next four years. America is a melting plot therefore we are not always going to agree on where Government spends our money. Some support more spending on education and new construction for roads while others support a less involved government. We have seen in the past that when there’s a high level of government spending our economy blooms. We can benefit from this because we have more move to spend and put back into the economy.

Though difficult, there are multiple ways to help and lighten the weight federal spending is used on healthcare. First off is to increase the savings in the current healthcare law. This could be done through reduced Medicare payments to health providers and insurers, cutting cost if savings don’t materialize.24 We can incentivize both employers and employees to choose cost-effective health plans. This is down by capping the tax exclusion of employer-provided health benefits.25 We could also increase the retirement age. This is down by gradually raising it first to 67 from 65, and further increasing it as needed.26 A out worldly idea is to pay the patients rather than the physician.27 Patients would use the insurance to receive a fixed cost based on the medical condition they have and will be able to use it in a medical provider under any terms and conditions the patient wants.27 This will allow the patient to have a freedom of choosing where they want to get medical service and would minimize spending since it is a fixed amount.

A government spending program that I heard about in the news lately is the program for low-income housing tax credits, also known as LIHTC. According to the NPR article, Affordable Housing Program Costs More, Shelters Fewer by Laura Sullivan and Meg Anderson (2017), LIHTC is a program the incentivizes the building of low-income housing by providing tax credits. The IRS distributes tax credits to state and local housing agencies and those agencies give them to developers. The developers then sell the tax credits thru an intermediary, known as syndicators, to banks and investors for money to build the apartments. In this program, the opportunity cost, or the cost of the next best alternative (Wolla, 2013), would be what the government could have done with the tax revenue that would have been gained if those credits were not issued. The money could be spent towards education, defense, other government social programs, and

Taxes are the dollars that we pay to government to supply the services that are not or can not be provided through the free enterprise system. Taxes have been around since the beginning of organized societies. They come in various forms. Most common are income taxes both federal and local government.

Other taxes come in the form of user taxes; these taxes are imposed on the people that are using the goods being taxed, such as gas tax, alcohol tax, sales tax, and luxury taxes. Property taxes make up the major revenues for local and city governments. Furthering the burden of taxation are taxes that are attached to such bills as utility

For as long as Americans can remember there has always been a federal deficit. In fact, the only time in American history when there was no federal debt was under president Andrew Jackson, and it only lasted a single year(Wall Street Journal). The federal government never managed to pay off the debt again, although some administrations, like Coolidge’s and Clinton’s, have managed to run brief surpluses(Wall Street Journal).
