Evaluate whether the plan seems to be sufficient as an emergency planning tool. Why or why not?

Using the Internet, locate and read the Emergency Response Plan for your local community. Evaluate whether the plan seems to be sufficient as an emergency planning tool. Why or why not? Does it place undue burden on business? Does it place undue burden on individual members of society? Does it satisfy the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act’s requirements? Regardless of whether you believe the plan is sufficient or not, provide two suggestions for improving it. (If you cannot locate your local Emergency Response Plan, choose any city’s plan to evaluate instead.)

Health as a Human Right

Article 25 of the 1948 UDHR and the Constitution of WHO are examples of positive expressions of health as a human right.

Using South University Online Library or the Internet, search for “health as a human right, a perspective from the WHO,” put forth in the UDHR. Conduct a research on this topic. Your research should include key features of the decisions, investigations, and laws you analyzed during the research.

Your research should also include answers to the following questions:

  • Analyze the purpose of Article 25 of the 1948 UDHR and the Constitution of the WHO.
  • In your opinion, do these two positive laws contradict the no-duty principle in the United States? Why or why not?
  • The term “the right to make informed health care decisions” is an important health care right of patients that have the right to make informed decisions about the direction of their care, including refusing treatment. Give your views on this statement and support your answer using relevant references.
  • Compare and contrast the terms “the right to make informed health care decisions” and “the right to health.”
  • In your opinion on life or death situations, do you think individuals should be allowed to refuse treatment? Why or why not?

After answering the above questions, read the following statement:

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) protects the rights of the poor and uninsured by stating that a hospital cannot refuse emergency treatment because of the patient’s inability to pay (patient dumping). Based on this statement, answer the following questions:

  • Explain and analyze two key duties of hospitals under EMTALA.
  • What do you think would happen if a hospital administrator directed an ambulance to take a patient to another hospital because the individual is uninsured?
  • Explain what impact this act might have on private hospitals. How does this act impact other publicly funded programs in the state?

What is the public health impact (epidemiological and economic) of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure?

Tobacco use is the primary cause of mortality in the United States today. Tobacco use is responsible for cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and heart disease and has caused the deaths of nearly half a million people per year. Tobacco control, prevention, and treatment are compelling and urgent public health issues. The development of tobacco control laws have been passed by a number of states.

Write a comprehensive overview of the health effects, politics, and regulatory control of tobacco use control efforts. Your paper should be based on the following points:

  • What are the factors (biological, environmental, economic, and political) that contribute to tobacco addiction? What are the medical consequences (morbidity and mortality) for tobacco users?
  • What is the public health impact (epidemiological and economic) of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure?
  • How do tobacco control regulations relate to positive and normative economics?
  • How do tobacco control regulations impact individual health care
  • What is the public health policy regarding tobacco control? What is the role of the state and Federal Government in policy making?
  • What is the history of regulatory tobacco control? What is the current state of tobacco control in the United States (states that have passed tobacco control regulations)?
  • What is the evidence that tobacco control is effective?
