Instructor: King E. Carter

Within Public Policy there are different interests that are affected once the issue

has been brought forward to the government by citizens who are sending e-mails, or

telephone calls advising of the issues that are affecting society, what the citizens

do not know is that with every issue within public policy that has to be passed by the

government and attempted to get resolved has a significant affect or groups and

organizations.

The identified groups and organizations represent my interests in a significant

manner because due to my profession I am aware that crime has been a problem for

society for quite a long

I have a child and am extremely aware of the problems

that have affected our education systems significantly due to the lack of financial

support from the government and also the increase in college education, books, etc.

I am aware of the government attempting to clear the tax deficit and financial problem

that our country is currently facing, but education is not the way to do it.

As for the other remaining identified groups such as Foreign policy, Health care,

and Social Welfare, they also represent my interests in a significant manner. For example

Health care, has affected me significant due to our president passed the new reform my

employer checks have significantly dropped from what I used to gross monthly, due to

the fact that we are taking a hit because we are assisting those with no medical

health care and those who are receiving assistance from the government, such as parolees

and prior drug addicts, or convicts.

The groups represent my interest by all means, ultimately besides us taxpayers

who are affected based off the government trying to accommodate all the citizens who

continue to write emails requesting assistance for the interests that are affected by public

I strongly believe that if your not physically

incapable of working, or able to care for yourself, or gravely disabled I will be

the first one to help these citizens. As for Social Welfare, I also believe that the

government is to lenient on how they assist the needed.

Some of the interest that I chose are significant to me and my family and loved

ones, but I think that the most interest affected by public policy that is in conflict with

those of the general public will have to be healthcare. I remember i was working the

day when our president passed the new Healthcare reform, and how citizens were

running outside the streets celebrating that they will now have medical assistance. At

first I did not think anything of it until the following morning during Roll Call when

we were advised by our lieutenant that it will affect us significantly especially

financially. As the months went by I started to notice my checks to get smaller and

smaller. I am aware that the general public 's thinking is different than mine, but do

not get me wrong I will be the first one to help someone I have been doing it for

13 years of my life, but when citizens take advantage that is when I have

    According to the Kaiser Family Foundation health care expenses are getting higher and higher each day. Health insurance premiums is now two times more in the last 9 years than ever before, increasing 4 times more rapidly than income in the past 8 years, and mounting co-pays and deductibles threaten access to care. Several insurance policies cover only an inadequate number of physicians’ visits or hospital days, exposing families to unrestricted monetary responsibility. More than half of all individual bankruptcies today are caused by medical bills. Lack of inexpensive health care is compounded by severe imperfections in our health care delivery system. About 150,000 Americans die from medical inaccuracy in hospitals each year.…
