Health care policy formation

The policy I need my paper on is“Who should be required, if anyone, to cover contraception?” The instructions are below: Policies are constantly being reviewed and considered to help improve the federal, state, or local health care systems. Each one has the potential to affect each of us on a daily basis, so careful consideration must be given when policies are proposed. It is important to understand the process of how a topic eventually becomes a policy. Choose a health care topic for which a policy might be formed. *Note: be sure to look ahead and choose a policy topic that will be suitable for the second part of this assignment as well, due in Week Four. Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper on the complete process of how your chosen topic becomes a policy. In your paper, include the following information: State the objective of the policy. Define Formulation stage: Explain the process to formulate your policy and the involvement of stakeholders. Define Legislative stage: Explain the legislative body’s approval process needed to gain support (ie funding) for the policy and how stakeholders influence legislators’ decisions. Define Implementation stage: Identify the accountable parties and their roles in the various implementation stages of your policy. Cite a minimum of five references. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
