Discuss the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on the increase in SNAP benefits from low-income families in the United States.President Clinton has seized the cigarette excise tax as an expedient and politically correct means of increaseing federal revenue. In 1994 the federal government took in $12 billion from the present 24-cents-per-pack tax. If the tax were quadrupled to $1 a pack, Clinton figures tax revenues would increase by more than $50 billion over three years. Those added revenues would help finance the heath care reforms the president so dearly wants. Professor Gary Becker, a Nobel Prize-winning economist at the University of Chicago,says Clinton math is wrong. The White House assumed that cigarettes sales would drop by 4 percent for every 10 percent increase in prices, not the full adjustment of smokers' behavior. Over a three-year period, cigarette consumption is likely to decline by 8 percent for every 10 percent increase in price-twice as much as Clinton assumed.As a result,the $1-a-pack tax will bring in much less revenue than President Clinton projected. According to Professor Becker, by…The graph below shows the budget constraint between income and leisure for an individual. The individual has a total of 4000 hours to divide between working and leisure for the entire year. The maximum an individual could make by working all 4000 hours is $20,000. For every hour spent in leisure, one less hour is spent working and vice versa. Suppose that, as illustrated in the graph, a government antipoverty program guarantees the individual $10, 000 in income per year. As the current government support is too low to help individuals out of poverty, the government has decided to increase the government support to $22, 000 per year. The individual is no longer motivated to work any hours as it is not possible for him/her to make more income than the guaranteed government support. Move the Government Support line to illustrate this outcome. Provide your answer below: 30000 25000 (0, 20000). 20000 15000- Government Support ($10000) 10000 5000 (4000, Q) 2000 4000 3000 Leisure (Hours) 1000…
- Shen, who is currently unemployed, is a participant in four welfare programs that offer daily benefits of $10 each to people with no earned income. Each program then curtails its benefits by 50 cents for every dollar of income a recipient earns. Shen's identical twin brother, Sean, is enrolled in an experimental negative income tax program that gives him $40/day in benefits and then taxes him at the rate of 50 percent on each dollar of earned income. Now suppose Shen is offered a job that pays $4/hr, the same wage his brother earns. a. Draw the budget constraint for each twin. Instructions: To earn full credit for this graph you must plot all required points for each curve. 1. Use the line tool (Shen's budget constraint, plot 3 points) to draw the Shen's budget constraint. 2. Use the line tool (Sean's budget constraint, plot 2 points) to draw the Sean's budget constraint.

The leader of the Senate Majority party calls you to offer a compromise. She has read your proposed alternative bill that would provide significant tax breaks on income from tips and gratuities. She tells you she is willing to propose your bill instead, and can get at least six others to do the same. In return, she wants you to drop your objections to the current immigration reform bill being considered, that would impose legal restrictions to prevent individuals from working without documentation. The immigration reform bill is not in the best interests of restaurant owners, but it is not as bad as a higher minimum wage. What do you tell the Senator? The immigration reform bill is not in the best interests of restaurant owners, but it is not as bad as a higher minimum wage. Do you agree to the compromise?

The pandemic has affected people’s livelihood, resulting in rising incidence of poverty. Since (the poor) and (the needy) are two of the eight categories of asnaf (zakat recipients), zakat authorities need to increase the amount of zakat and sadaqah collections to address the rising incidence of poverty. With the use of specific examples, suggest and explain in detail 3 (THREE) strategies that the zakat authorities could implement to increase the collections of contributions.
- mmolat 6. A central goal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is to significantly reduce the number of uninsured by providing a continuum of affordable coverage options through Medicaid and the Health Insurance Marketplaces. The ACA expands Medicaid coverage for most low-income adults to 138% of the federal poverty level. Following the June 2012 Supreme Court decision, states face a decision about whether to adopt the Medicaid expansion. On or before January 1, 2019, 31 states and the District of Columbia expanded Medicaid eligibility. To analyze the effect of the Medicaid expansion on private health insurance coverage, using a state-level data drawn from the 2010-18 American Community Surveys, the following difference-in-differences model was estimated controlling for all year and state effects, as well as covariates for poor, child and senior, by using the de-meaned approach. Variable name Description expansion priv_hi senior child poor st year 1 for the expansion states after Medicaid…The graph below shows the budget constraint between income and leisure for an individual. For every hour spent in leisure, one less hour is spent working and vice versa. Suppose that the individual starts making more than the guaranteed annual government support level when he/she works more than 2000 hours in a given year (and, in essence, spends 500 hours or less in leisure activities). Move the Government Support line to represent the level of government support for which the above is true. Provide your answer below: 30000 25000 (0, 25000) 20000- 15000- 10000- 5000- Government SUpport ($3000) (2500, 0) 2000 Leisure (Hours) 1000 3000 Income ($)Assistance 12. The U.S. government spends over $74 billion on its Supplemental Nutr Program (SNAP) to provide millions of Americans with the means to purchase food. Beneficiaries use an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card to transfer their govern- ment benefits from a federal account to a retailer account. The funds on an EBT card cannot be sold for cash or used to purchase nonfood items. The average SNAP benefit is about $284 per month. Suppose that, in the absence of SNAP, the average consumer must divide $600 in monthly income between food and "all other goods" such that the following budget constraint holds: $600 = $12A + $4F, where A is the quantity of "all other goods" and F is the quantity of food purchased. Using the vertical axis for "all other goods," draw the consumer's budget line in the absence of SNAP. What is the market rate of substitution between food and "all other goods"? On the same graph, show how SNAP alters the average consumer's budget line. Would this…
- A recent trend in health insurance is the Health Savings Account (HSA). The idea behind Health Savings Accounts is that rather than providing employees with health insurance that makes visiting doctors cost little more than a simple $10 or $20 copay the employer gives the employee money to use to spend on health care, but the employee bares the entire cost of seeing the doctor. What money given for health care not spent by the employee can be withdrawn by the employee as if it was additional income. It is believed that Health Savings Accounts will reduce the total amount of money spent on seeing doctors. Using Supply and Demand analysis, explain why there is the expectation that HSA’s will reduce spending on doctors.Susan is a single mother with three children. She is a cashier at a food market earning $7.75 per hour and works up to 2,000 hours per year. She is eligible for government benefits, so if she does not earn any income, she will receive a total of $17,050 per year. She can work and still receive government benefits, but for every $1 of income, her government stipend is $1 less. The government has decided to change the benefits policy of every $1 of income earned to reduce the government’s stipend by 60 cents. How will this change Susan's benefits received? What are her new choices? Complete the Revised Poverty Trap Table to present Susan’s options and provide answers to the following: What are the advantages of Susan working? What are the disadvantages of Susan working? What are the advantages of Susan receiving government benefits? What are the disadvantages of Susan receiving government benefits? Based on your findings from the Poverty Trap Table, should Susan continue to work or…Polly, Molly, and Dolly are all single mothers. They each can earn $10 per hour working for up to 2,000 hours per year. Their government runs a welfare system that gives income benefits of $5,000 per year for single mothers with no income. The welfare benefits are reduced by $1 for every $2 in earned income. Currently, the government also provides free health care for children of single mothers with less than $25,000 in income. Each mother values this benefit at $2,000 per year. Under this system, Polly works 200 hours per year, Molly works 1,025 hours per year, and Dolly works 1,500 hours, so only Polly receives welfare. b. Draw a representative indifference curve for each mother. Discuss how the welfare program changes the behavior of these three individuals. d. The government decides to remove the welfare lock by providing free low- quality public health care (Ho-$2,000) for everyone. If the individuals want to consumer health care more than Ho, they have to turn to private health…
