Public Health Law in the News Wal-Mart’s attempt to provide health care
services. Wal-Mart has sent a request seeking vendors to
help expand the breadth of its retail clinic operations into diagnostic and chronic care services. But despite its ability to dominate in retail, health care has been a tougher business for the company. It has had success with pharmacy-related initiatives but a spottier record with in-store clinics.

Ethical Decisions
How will I derive to my decision? First we determine what ethics are
ethics refers to standards of behavior that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves-as friends, parents, children, citizens, businesspeople, teachers, professionals, and so on.

Why is making ethical decisions a challenge? There are two fundamental problems in
identifying the ethical standards we are to follow:1. On what do we base our ethical standards?2. How do those standards get applied to specific situations we face?
![Page 7: Professor Smith. Public Health Law in the News Wal-Mart’s attempt to provide health care services. Wal-Mart has sent a request seeking vendors to](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e765503460f94b77e5a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Five Sources of Ethical Standards
The Utilitarian ApproachSome ethicists emphasize that the ethical action is the one that provides the most good or does the least harm, or, to put it another way, produces the greatest balance of good over harm.
The Rights ApproachThis approach starts from the belief that humans have a dignity based on their human nature per se or on their ability to choose freely what they do with their lives.
The Fairness or Justice ApproachToday we use this idea to say that ethical actions treat all human beings equally-or if unequally, then fairly based on some standard that is defensible. We pay people more based on their harder work or the greater amount that they contribute to an organization, and say that is fair.
The Common Good ApproachThis approach suggests that the interlocking relationships of society are the basis of ethical reasoning and that respect and compassion for all others-especially the vulnerable-are requirements of such reasoning.
The Virtue Approach. These virtues are dispositions and habits that enable us to act according to the highest potential of our character and on behalf of values like truth and beauty.

What Is Part B (Medical Insurance)?◦ Part B helps cover medically-necessary services like doctors' services, outpatient
care, home health services, and other medical services. Part B also covers some preventive services. Check your Medicare card to find out if you have Part B.
How Much Does Part B Cost?◦ If you have Part B, you pay a Part B premium each month. Most people will pay
the standard premium amount. Social Security will contact some people who have to pay more depending on their income. If you don't sign up for Part B when you are first eligible, you may have to pay a late enrollment penalty.
How Do I Get Part B?◦ Some people automatically get Part B. Learn how and when you can sign up for
Part B. What Does Part B Cover?
◦ To find out if Part B covers something specific, visit Your Medicare Coverage. Part B covers two types of services:
Medically-necessary services — Services or supplies that are needed to diagnose or treat your medical condition and that meet accepted standards of medical practice. ◦ Preventive services — Health care to prevent illness (like the flu) or detect it at an
early stage, when treatment is most likely to work best.

Medicaid is available only to certain low-income individuals and families who fit into an eligibility group that is recognized by federal and state law. Medicaid does not pay money to you; instead, it sends payments directly to your health care providers. Depending on your state's rules, you may also be asked to pay a small part of the cost (co-payment) for some medical services.
Medicaid is a state administered program and each state sets its own guidelines regarding eligibility and services.
Read more about your state Medicaid program to complete your assignment.

The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA or Public Law 111-3) reauthorized the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
CHIPRA finances CHIP through FY 2013.
It will preserve coverage for the millions of children who rely on CHIP today and provides the resources for States to reach millions of additional uninsured children. This legislation will help ensure the health and well-being of our nation's children.
CHIP

Families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid may be able to qualify for CHIP.
Families that do not currently have health insurance are likely to be eligible, even if you are working. The states have different eligibility rules, but in most states, uninsured children under the age of 19, whose families earn up to $44,100 a year (for a family of four) are eligible. For little or no cost, this insurance pays for:
