Amber is a 35-year-old, white non-Hispanic female. She earned her bachelor’s degree and currently works for a rural, non-profit organization making less than $30,000 per year. She regularly sees more than one doctor and usually has access to a community health clinic or other public clinic when she needs health care services. With self-reported health status as fair, Amber expressed several concerns regarding her ability to access care and, in fact, reported being dissatisfied with her ability to access health care services.Amber states “there were few counselors available for new patients that had a wait time of less than 3 months, and there were only 3-5 locations I could access with my [insurance].” Long wait times are not her only concern. She shares the following regarding how cost affects her access, “the co-pay for regular counseling sessions is also costly so I only go every other week instead of weekly.” Furthermore, “my medication was also expensive initially before I realized I could participate in the 340B program. Better communication from health care providers on [eligibility] could have avoided the issue.”As a full-time employee making less than $30,000, her other main concern is “the hours of [operation] also mean that I have to regularly draw dawn on my sick time for counseling and several other [appointments].” Even with private insurance, Amber still faces access to care issues. “Additionally, I wanted to see an allergist as was [recommended] by primary care doctor but there are none that my [insurance] covers within 25 miles of my home. Transportation in the rural area I live in is also costly and time consuming.”As a result of these problems, Amber’s health suffers. She confuses “I do not attend counseling as much as I would like, [I’m] unable to see [an] allergist to diagnose ongoing health issues that greatly impact my well-being, I am constantly [rescheduling] [appointments] due to conflicts with work meetings or I don’t have enough sick time to attend appointments. Getting to [appointments] is costly.” Finally, she ends by stating how these problems have affected “my mental health which effects every aspect of my daily life including employment, education, relationships etc.”Questions –1) Briefly describe each of Amber’s access to care barriers.2) Using Andersen’s model, describe where each of her access to care barriers fits in themodel.3) How do these barriers affect her health status and quality of life?4) What solutions could be devised to help Amber?

Fill in the information below after finding the following case on Nexis/Uni:A not-for-profit corporation sought judgment to restrain the US from enforcing the statute that regulates electronic payments to certain online gaming businesses. An attorney for the non-profit stated that the government was unnecessarily imposing morality on the customers of these businesses and that the statute was unconstitutionally vague. The judge at the district level rejected the claims, stating that a person of ordinary intelligence could understand the definitions set forth in the statute. When the non-profit appealed the district court decision, the appellate judge agreed with the district court’s decision.Hint: The statute at issue in this case is 31 U.S.C.S. § 5361.Clarification: This case you are looking for is the circuit court case, NOT the case from the lower court.Please answer the following (several sentences for each):- Citation.+Example: McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, et al. v.

Write a News Story Article based off this link.https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/company-leaders-… Please be sure to address all assignment requirements mentioned below.The taskYou will be writing an article about diversity-based efforts, programs or organizations in the Denton or DFW area. The article should feature at least two interviews AND two external sources such as other news reports, journals or advocacy groups. (As we learned in our fact-finding lab, always seek out the original source.) Focus on a newsworthy element in the story rather than providing a description of the effort, program or organization. (Those elements were discussed in our first module.)Identifying diversityDiversity can entail many things: race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability/disability, geographic area, income and other factors. UNT hosts MANY student organizations and multicultural programs that are involved in these areas; you can find them by checking OrgSync or unt.edu.Your task is to step out of your comfort zone and write a diversity-based article that is NOT tied to your personal experience or background. For example, a Hispanic student should not cover a Hispanic program, a Christian student should not write about a church ministry, etc.Writing notesYou do not have to write this in inverted pyramid style. Pick the style that works best for your particular story. However, make sure your story has a strong nut graph in the second or third paragraph if you choose not to use inverted pyramid. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and AP Style are important.There is no first draft for this assignment. Find an editing buddy to check out your story before you submit it.DO NOT COPY AND PASTE MATERIAL FROM ANY SOURCE! Everything is story must be original.Assignment requirements500-650 wordsInclude at least two compelling direct quotesInterview at least two peopleCite your sources in the article. For example: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Asians make up 4.2% of Denton’s population.Don’t use a dictionary or definition as a source.

Only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized.)At the end of your article, specify your diversity-related factors.
