Funding allows hospitals to control funds and limit investments. Not-for-profit organizations help provide more services and margin of safety. Therefore, creditors look for a margin of safety so that the community that financed a small portion of total financing can be returned to the owners by leveraging. Capitalization ratio measures the funds that were borrowed and the assets that have been used. The coverage ratio measures the number that time they fixed financial charges.

Membership Services (MSD) at Kaiser Permanente used to be a modest department of sixty staff. However, over the past few years the department has doubled in size, creating minor departmental reorganization. In addition the increase of departmental staffing, several challenges became apparent. The changes included primary job function, as well as the introduction of new network system software which slowed down the processes of other departments. These departments included Claims (who pay the bills for service providers outside of the Kaiser Permanente network), and Patient Business Services (who send invoices to members for services received within Kaiser Permanente). Due to the unforeseen challenges created by the system upgrade, it was decided that MSD would process the calls for both of the affected departments. Unfortunately, this created a catastrophic event of MSD receiving numerous phone calls from upset members—who had received bills a year after the service had been provided. The average Monday call volume had risen from 1,800 to 2,600 calls per day. The average handling time for each phone call had risen as well—from an acceptable standard of 5.6 minutes to an unfavorable 7.2 minutes. The department continued to be kept inundated with these types of calls for the two years that these changes have been effect.

The purposes of hospitals in the 18th century served a different purpose than the 21th century hospitals. The United States hospitals arose from “institutions, particularly almshouses, which provided care and custody for the sickly poor. Entrenched in this tradition of charity, the public hospital traces its ancestry to the development of cities and community efforts to shelter and care for the chronically ill, deprived, and disabled” ("America 's Essential Hospitals,2013").Hospitals in the earlier years in the United States are far more different than they are today.
Memorial employees were respected members of the community before the storm; they had been the heroes before, saving countless lives in their day to day jobs. Nurses and physicians had already been seen by the public as those who help the hurt and injured. In The New York Times article “Critical Conditions” “author” discusses the conditions in which the employees of Memorial hospital worked in. Even though these employees had to work “without electricity and often in the dark, sleep-deprived doctors and nurses labored determinedly” (Sherwin). These individuals put their safety and health second, a fact that was readily recognized by the general public. After describing how the Memorial staff performed their jobs, the same New York Times article accredited these nurses and doctors as “heroic in their attention to duty” (Sherwin). The Memorial staff was praised and recognized for their efforts in the hospital in the days following the storms of Hurricane Katrina. The general public had no hesitation when claiming these individuals’ actions and even the individuals themselves as

There is a serious problem in the prison system in the state of Arizona. And that problem is the current healthcare system that is in place. The prisoners that have been incarcerated in the past and in the present, do not have a sufficient amount of hygiene products that should be available to them. The bill that can solve this issue provides many hygiene products to prisoners for free. Some items include: tampons, shampoo, toothbrushes, aspirin, and body lotion.
