The Impact of the Affordable Care Act on the Yellow Family and the Role of Pharmacists in Reducing Health Disparities

 

Yellow Family-Health Policy
Identify a health policy (it’s easier to select an existing local, state, or national policy). Describe its impact on your family (the family you adopted most often for in class activities). Describe and explain what this policy means for you as a soon to be practicing pharmacist and citizen concerned with reducing or eliminating health disparities.

Relationships are important in late adulthood

 

Your response should be a minimum of two-pages, Times New Roman, 12-font size, double spaced, no title page. There is no need for extra spacing between paragraphs; one double-space is fine. If you provide your name and class info on the top left or right, that should be single-spaced. Here is the information for Reflection #4:
What sorts of relationships are important in late adulthood?
• Friendships are important in later life because they offer personal control, companionship, and social support.
• Family relationships, especially with siblings and children, provide a great deal of emotional support for people in later life.
• In the increasingly prevalent phenomenon of elder abuse, parents who are socially isolated and in poor health may be abused by children who are forced to act as caregivers.

Think about yourself OR the people in your life who are currently in late adulthood. What kinds of relationships do they have? Are they the right kind? Are they beneficial to them or detrimental? What can be done to improve if needed?
