Elements of the Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act (ACT) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in March 2010. Many of the provisions of the law directly affect health care providers. Review the following topic materials:

About “ACT”

“Health Care Transformation: The ACT and More”
What are the most important elements of the Affordable Care Act in relation to community and public health? What is the role of the nurse in implementing this law?

Today, seven in 10 deaths in the U.S. are related to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and cancer, which are largely preventable. Additionally, 86 percent of our health care dollars are spent treating such diseases. However, only three cents of each health care dollar spent in the U.S. go toward prevention (American Public Health Association, 2019).

Though the Affordable Care Act provided coverage for 20 million Americans, there are still 29 million Americans out there that do not have coverage. Will those people focus their health care on preventative care? How can the Community health nurse help to change the focus to prevention if people can not afford insurance, can they afford out-of-pocket preventative care?

The Danger of a Single Story

Watch the video “The Danger of a Single Story”: https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_ngozi_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story/transcript?language=en

In her talk, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie talks about the power of stories, but also that there is a risk of believing in only one story about an individual or a group: “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”

In your reflection paper, discuss and answer the following questions:
1. What is the danger of a “single story”? Provide one example the speaker uses to demonstrate this concept.
2. How can a “single story” affect your work with people who access mental health and addictions services?
3. Disrupting and transforming “single stories”:
• Provide one or two examples of a “single story” that you have encountered/experienced about a particular group in society.
• How can you change those stories?
• How can you avoid biases and stereotypes when discussing the experiences of others?
