To prepare a stakeholder plan that will ensure adequate stakeholder support of the Affordable Care Act.  You are permitted to modify the Affordable Care Act, but not radically alter it, in order to receive more stakeholder support or reduce the intensity or breadth of opposition. Focus most on the stakeholders that you perceive have both a high amount of power and a high amount of interest in this issue (see diagram below). Here are key elements of a stakeholder plan.
1. Identify all of the significant organized stakeholder groups (e.g., “the public” is not an organized stakeholder group, nor are “voters” or even “middle-aged people”; the American Medical Association is an organized stakeholder group).  Be sure not to confuse governmental power centers (e.g., the House, the Senate or the White House) with organized stakeholder groups.
2. From a political perspective, identify which groups are most important for Obama to manage effectively (i.e., enlist their support and/or ensure they do not engage in determined opposition).
3. For each stakeholder group, assess whether they are likely to support the ACA (or a revised version of the ACA).  Be sure to consider the multiple aspects of the ACA, as the same group might like some aspects of the ACA, and dislike other aspects of the ACA.
4. Specify those modifications to the ACA that you have made to enhance the likely effectiveness of your stakeholder plan  (e.g., you might substitute one tax for another to appease a business or labor group).   
Each group shall designate a spokesperson to summarize their plan in oral remarks.  Please keep the presentations to under 5 minutes. Each group shall also submit on Canvas a summary of their stakeholder plan, not to exceed 750 words.  The TAs will evaluate the oral presentations in class; Professor Graham will evaluate the written summaries.
