Despite having the most expensive healthcare system in the world, the United States has been consistently ranked as having the worst system in terms of equity, efficiency, and healthcare outcomes among industrialized nations. The effects of these systemic issues are grounded in the patient experience as nearly forty-four percent of individuals have forgone recommended treatments and thirty-two percent have reported that they were unable to afford a prescription due to the high cost, according to a study conducted in 2018. Health is sacred, and financial circumstances should not determine the difference between treatment and illness, or life and death. "Financial assistance" or "Charity Care" programs provide free or discounted care for "appropriate hospital-based medical services" to individuals on a sliding scale. The Charity Care models of Washington and California provide invaluable support for low-income individuals who cannot afford healthcare and fall through the cracks of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). If several key components of the Washington and California Charity Care statutes become requirements for nonprofit hospitals to receive the federal tax exemption under § 501(r) of the Internal Revenue Code and related federal regulations, these critical safety nets can be expanded to provide protection for the most vulnerable healthcare consumers nationally.

Unreliable management of the economic system, incoordination of economic and political structures, instability of the current legal framework, participation in military actions, trade deficit means low competitiveness of domestic goods in foreign markets. The excess of demand for foreign goods, and hence for foreign currency, leads to a steady devaluation of the national currency and exacerbates the disadvantages of foreign economic relations. Prerequisite for ensuring the positive dynamics of economic development is the curtailment of foreign economic relations to ensure the purchasing power parity of the national currency to improve foreign economic relations, tariff and non-tariff bargaining in order to protect the internal market from unfair competition.

Перевищення попиту на іноземні товари, а отже, на іноземну валюту, зумовлює стійку девальвацію національної валюти, посилює невигідність зовнішньоекономічних відносин. Передумовою забезпечення позитивної динаміки розвитку економіки є згортання зовнішньоекономічних відносин задля забезпечення паритету купівельної спроможності національної валюти для підвищення ефективності зовнішньоекономічних відносин, застосування тарифних та ...

The recent consultative papers by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has raised the possibility of an explicit role for external rating agencies in the assessment of the credit risk of banks' assets, including interbank claims. Any judgement on the merits of this proposal calls for an assessment of the information contained in credit ratings and its relationship to other publicly available information on the financial health of banks and borrowers. We assess this issue via an event study of rating change announcements by leading international rating agencies, focusing on rating changes for European banks for which data on bond and equity prices are available. We find little evidence of announcement effects on bond prices, which may reflect the lack of liquidity in bond markets in Europe during much of our sample period. For equity prices, we find strong effects of ratings changes, although some of our results may suffer from contamination by contemporaneous news events. We also test for pre‐announcement and post‐announcement effects, but find little evidence of either. Overall, our results suggest that ratings agencies may perform a useful role in summarizing and obtaining non‐public information on banks and that monitoring of banks' risk through bond holders appears to be relatively limited in Europe. The relatively weak monitoring by bondholders casts some doubt on the effectiveness of a subordinated debt requirement as a supervisory tool in the European context, at least until bond markets are more developed.(J.E.L.: E53, G21, G33)
