You have now completed readings on the different forms of U.S. health policies—laws, rules or regulations, implantation decisions, and judiciary decisions. Additionally, we covered the role of the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches of government in formulating health policies and how policies can have a major impact on population health. It’s not uncommon for legislators to debate the role of different arms of government in passing health laws that will have major impact on citizens. In fact, there have been numerous legislations at the federal level that the states refused to implement because state legislatures felt they violated state’s sovereignty or infringed on the power of a state to govern itself under the U.S. Constitution.

For this assignment, you are a Health Policy & Analysis student seeking summer externship at Joe & Jane Law Firm, a major health policy analysis consulting firm to the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Health.

You have been tasked with writing a memo differentiating and analyzing the different forms of health policy.In your response to the clerk, discuss and consider the following:

• Identify and explain one health policy enacted in each of the category/form (laws, rules or regulations, implantation decisions, and judiciary decisions). What problem this policy was created to solve and is it accomplishing the purposes for which it was originally enacted? Has the policy been amended since it was passed/made and why?
• Is the health policy currently implemented in every state? If there are states not implementing the policy, why? Or, what is their objection(s) to the policy?
