Health care has became more and more expensive over the past decades and more people are finding that they cannot afford to pay for medical visits to the doctor. When patients visit the emergency room and they do not have insurance they are given a bill for thousands of dollars that they cannot afford to pay and are left with paying monthly instalments to lessen the bill. With more people not able to afford the bills for their medical needs an act was passed to help control the cost of medical services. In 2010 the Affordable Care act was implemented to help Americans with the high cost of health care. This act has been changed over the past ten years to further help people in need and provide services to them. Since this act has been in effect access to health care has increased difficulty with affording health care has decreased Kobayashi, Altindag, Truskinovsky, & Berkman (2019). By expanding the options that low income families can have when choosing healthcare plans, the cost of the services has decreased and health care is more accessible. With some patients not able to afford healthcare it is left to the nurse to help get them the resources needed to acquire assistance (Rector, 2018). Nurses can find ways of getting patients discount medications which is a big help when some patients are living on fixed incomes.Paper requires a minimum of two references: one from a peer-reviewed english NURSING journal (less than 5 years-old) and one from the course textbook.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
