Health Policy paper

 

Write a 7-9 page paper with bibliography. Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. 

You will synthesize your understanding of why Medicare Part D passed, as well as the influence of the various interest groups and governmental entities during this process. Make sure to discuss both the policy process and the policy environment—that is, the key players involved and other circumstances that shaped this policy-making effort. For this assignment, address the following questions, doing further research as needed:

• How did various stakeholder groups influence the final outcome of Medicare Part D legislation?
• What were the specific strategies and tools that were used most effectively?
• Does the fact that Medicare Part D passed corresponds with your understanding of policy and politics, or did this surprise you? Explain your response.
