GED 132 – United States Government U4Q1 How Medicaid Involves Client and Majoritarian Politics In the United States, Medicaid is a state and federal program that helps individuals with limited income and resources, including adults, children, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities. Medicaid also offers home care services, as well as personal care services, which are not generally covered by Medicare. Medicaid involves both Majoritarian and Client politics. Majoritarian politics benefit most or, in some cases, all people. Two great examples of majoritarian politics are Medicare and Social Security. According to (Maravall & Przeworski, 2003), majoritarian politics have no means test, and the main problems that politicians face with majoritarian politics is who will pay, and how much? Conversely, in client politics, few individuals benefit; however, almost all individuals have to pay. Client politics is means-tested, and the underlying problem that politicians face is which individuals should benefit, and how should those individuals be served? For states to participate in the Medicaid program, they must cover certain groups of individuals as demanded by the federal law. Groups that are eligible…

Transformational leadership in Nursing practice Nursing practice necessitates an individual to make decisions commensurate with a leader. Nurses encounter situations that prompt them to make timely decisions to determine procedures for quality patient care (Bahadori, Hajibabaee, Ashghali, and Peyrovi, 2016). The leadership style in a healthcare institution determines the nature of the working environment, job satisfaction, employee retention, quality of patient care, and outcomes. Besides, nurses face conflicts on work that require resolutions based on the leadership at the institution. Evidence suggests that healthcare organizations prefer transformational leadership because it is dynamic. Transformational leaders communicate a clear vision while creating an empowering working environment to achieve set goals (Boamah, 2017). Notably, effective communication with physicians, influences nurses on the decisions they make concerning their patients. Appropriate healthcare processes improve quality care and patient outcomes. Transformational leadership creates an environment that fosters continued nurse professional growth with a focus on the achievement of the organizational goals. In nursing practice, transformational leaders set high levels of expectation towards nurses. However, the management creates an empowering environment that ensures the success of the…
Challenges Facing Immigrants Trying to Attain Citizenship The article by James Angelo criticizes how developed countries, particularly the European nations, using the language barrier to inhibit foreigners and immigrants from acquiring the country’s citizenship through marriage. There are a number of ways through which a person is capable of acquiring citizenship status in a foreign country. For starters, one may become a citizen if they are born in the country; they desire to become a citizen. The other process includes becoming a citizen through the process of naturalization, where a person can become a citizen by living in the country for the number of years specified by the constitution. Lastly, a person can become a citizen in foreign through marriage. Apart from birth, marriage is the most common form of way of attaining citizenship in most of the foreign countries. Local citizens from a particular country marry foreigners who are later given their citizenship status. James Angelo’s article sheds light on this issue, especially in developed countries in Europe. I agree with Angelo’s assertion that the European countries have put…

Succeeding in life is what everybody hopes for in their lives, but not everyone does because maybe they don’t know the living formula. People learn quite often by trial and error, but they much learn faster when the experiments are the same and errors being more precise. Even though mistakes and failure are not an excellent opportunity to learn from, they still provide the necessary foundation for people to succeed. People do try their level best to prevent failure in their lives through their actions, not knowing the faults are gifts that help shape their lives, making them unique as well as teaching them some powerful lessons in life.
