Question No. 1 Part A: Answer. ACA or a non-disclosure agreement is a contract between two parties agreeing to confine information provided by one party to the other, from third parties. It is essential for both parties to maintain trust between each other and to since BTOC is the first interested financial investor for LOL, it is necessary that the terms are kept confidential from the market to avoid possible damage to repute. Also, no formal contract has yet been signed between the parties; therefore, any information being shared is not public information (Maguire, Murchison & Jaeger, 2012). The confidentiality agreement is essential to cover all proprietary assets, which includes all customer and supplier information, intellectual property information, pricing and costing information, trademarks and copyrights, trade secrets and all other financial statements of BTOC. The confidential agreement must also cover the subsidiaries that the BTOC has with respect to a potential transaction which is normally considered as the purchaser agreed not to disclose until he has made the sale process with public. Part B: Answer. If no agreement is signed, LOL is at greater risk of information being shared with third parties. The research material shared with BOTC for financial assistance may get to the market before its right time. LOL can get into legal, reputational or marketing issue as it holds potential additional information regarding the site. If there is no agreement signed
This discussion is based on case study of imposition of values by a counselor. Mary Ann is a 19 year old college student, who sought counseling at the college counseling center due to her depressive behavior and desire to do better in school work. She is not expressing suicidal feelings but rather she expressed her thought of disappearance and not to exist. She spoke proudly about her brother who is pursuing education in the seminary, and states her desire to work in the church but eventually feels less energized to do so. Mary has a strong believes in her Christian and Religious faith. She also described her family as being religious and that faith is very important in their lives.
The full disclosure principle states that any future event that may or will occur, and thatwill have a material economic impact on the financial position of the business, should be disclosed to probable and potential readers of the statements. Such disclosures are most frequently made by footnotes. For example, a hotel should report the building of a new wing, or the future acquisition of another property. A restaurant facing a lawsuit from a customer who was injured by tripping over a frayed carpet edge should disclose the contingency of the lawsuit. Similarly, if accounting practices of the current financial statements were changed and differ from those previously reported, the changes should
In 2010 the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was signed into act to help reform healthcare in the United States. Before and after the act was effective, many people were concerned with how it would affect our country as a whole and on an individual basis. Many people say that the ACA is helping our country and others are not so sure. The goal of the act is to give millions of uninsured Americans access to quality health care and by also making it more affordable. Although there seems to be many positives from this act, not everyone agrees that it was the greatest idea to obtain optimal health status. As many people know, children are now allowed to stay on their parents insurance until they are twenty-six years old.
As you know my situation is messy here in Texas. As a single, young male I do not qualify for Medicaid and with the ACA expansion more people are qualifying for Medicaid depending on their state. Sadly, that is not the case for me. I live in the state of Texas which is one of nearly 20 states yet to expand its Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and is home to the largest number of uninsured Americans of any state in the country. I do not meet the Medicaid requirements in Texas, available only to people with disabilities who have incomes below 75 percent of the federal poverty level; pregnant women with incomes less than 200 percent of poverty; and parents with incomes less than 19 percent of poverty. I will continue to be uninsured and as a freelance construction worker I should have coverage in case of a mishap at work. Therefore, I strongly support the idea of adding a public option to the U.S healthcare system for individuals like myself that do not qualify for Medicaid and do not have the financial means to buy health insurance on the private market.
Understanding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) can be problematic, the goal of the ACA is to address the fact that millions of Americans do not have health insurance, yet they are contributors to the health care market, consuming health care services for which they do not pay. While this may seem to be a great idea, many Americans are not really sure how they are affected by this Health Care Reform. The goal is to make health insurance affordable, secure, and reliable for all. The ACA is a minimum coverage provision, individuals are given health insurance by amending the tax code. There is an individual mandate which stipulates all non-exempt individuals must maintain a minimum level of insurance or pay a tax penalty. ACA extends Medicaid, states have to accept or they will not receive Federal funding. The act also includes an employer mandate to obtain health coverage for employees. The Affordable Care Act has changed the way health care is provided and the way individuals will participate (The Affordable Care Act Cases. (n.d.). Retrieved September 3, 2015)

Affordable Care Act (ACA), often known as Obamacare, was signed by President Obama in 2010. The goal of the Act is to increase the number of individuals with health insurance to the point where all Americans are insured by providing quality healthcare at an affordable price. Despite its good intent, the ACA is not as perfect as it may appear. In this paper, I will list the main features of the Act, its pros and cons, and how it affects you as an individual and discuss the King vs. Burwell lawsuit.
America faces a choice, keep The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, or scrap it and come up with something better. The ACA in its entirety leaves room for improvement. It could do better, much better, if it weren’t for matters of political expediency. Currently the United States spends more on health care than any other country. According to a Huffington Post article (2013) the U.S. spends about 17.2 percent of their GDP on medical care. Health care per capita is approximately $8,608, second only to Switzerland, which spends $9,121.
One of the primary goals of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was to provide affordable health care coverage and increase access to affordable health care to the community. Unfortunately, since the passage of the ACA, while there has been an increase in the number of people with health care coverage, those same people do not necessarily have access to affordable health care. Currently, the public views the Emergency Department (ED) as a safety net by the community it serves; as demonstrated by the increasing number of people who continue to seek treatment in the ED for non-urgent problems. Utilization of the ED for non-urgent care contributes to the rising costs of healthcare as treatment in this setting can be upwards of three times the cost
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting requirements are on the minds of employers, C-level executives and business owners. With hefty penalties for not providing the right information on the annual returns and for not filing before the deadlines, companies realize that they need to understand what health insurance coverage data they have to report and when. The ACA laws are complicated, but companies must follow them to be compliant with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The HIPAA Privacy Rule identifies the authentic need for public health specialists and others accountable for safeguarding public health and safety to have contact to secure health evidence to carry out their public health task. This rule identifies that public health reports made by protected persons are an imperative resource of recognizing dangers to the health and safety of the public as a whole, as well as persons. The rule also licenses protected objects to unveil threatened health material without approval for known public health devotions. To improve and uphold the public's health, deterrent programs and events are needed. The public health system emphases on prevention through population founded health advancement and public services

The ACA Code of Ethics states, “when counselors are faced with ethical dilemmas that are difficult to resolve, they are expected to engage in a carefully considered ethical decision-making process,” (ACA, 2014, p. 3). Throughout these three case studies, I will use the seven-step ethical decision-making model to address the important professional issues, relevant ethical codes, and legal standards (Forester-Miller & Davis, 1996). By applying the steps to each case I will share how I came to my resolutions.
This paper provides an analysis of the Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) on different ethical perspectives. NDA is essential to business and to any knowledge intensive environment as it allows two parties to collaborate and exchange information without the fear of compromise or competition. The NDA is defensible under deontology, utilitarianism or virtue approaches as encouraging transactions while prevent the theft of knowledge should be legal and unethical.
