Long-term underfunding for public health is a major concern for public health professionals. Budgeting for public health programs are often the task given to public health administrators. Review this week’s reading to download full reports by Trust for America’s Health, “The Impact of Chronic Underfunding of America’s Public Health System: Trends, Risks, and Recommendations, 2020” and “Promoting Health and Cost Control in States, 2019”.
Provide an overview of the two reports and include a critical analysis of how you think the two reports are connected. How can public health professionals utilize these reports to create funding opportunities, accurate budgets, or programs as administrators in public health organizations?
Next, choose one of the Policy Goals outlined in “Promoting Health Cost Control in States”, describe the policymaking process in generalities (how do policies get made?), then apply this process by discussing how you would practice public health ethics and advocate for this goal in your state legislature. What steps would you take to introduce a bill outlining how the state could adopt this policy goal? Who would you partner with? Describe what process the bill would need to go through to be adopted by the state. How would you use evidence-based resources to support your policy-making efforts and advocacy?
