Does this add to your understanding of why Native Americans experience poor health indicators? Explain.
Shyla BetzNative American discriminationThe Native American culture is widely discriminated against, and health care is not an exception. In my research, I found that male American Indians and Alaskan Native males have higher death rates than female AI/AN and non-AI/AN males. The lack of healthcare and discrimination are the main causes. Although this article told me that healthcare is a reason, as well as feminine bias, is a cause it didnt go into detail as to why they occur.After reading Tonyas post I learned that the Native Americans have some of the worst health care due to a history of poor health, lack of education, and communication barriers. This added to my understanding by informing me that this group cant even find health insurance companies to cover them because of their poor health outcomes along with them being a racial minority. Next Hannahs post taught me that there was a US policy put in place that forced NI/AN to relocate from their land. This caused a lot of mental health issues among this group and on top of it, the same policy makes it difficult for them to get the mental health services they need.Unit Project: Native Americans and Health Care Article Analysis and Discussion 20 points fo the total 75 for this Unit ProjectFor the second part of the assignment you will:Read TWO of your classmates posts and respond to their research critically examining what you learned from their research.

What is the maximum number of examinations the firm can require beyond which the exceptional workers would just prefer the regular worker wage?
Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Parts c e)Despite protecting itself from the consequences of adverse selection in part b, the employer recognizes that as a result of adverse selection, there is an unconsummated wealth-creating transaction available if it can screen the workers in a way that will reveal their types. They come up with the following hiring policy: Anyone who has passed a certain number, nn, of qualifying examinations will be regarded as an exceptional worker and will be paid $120,000. And anyone who has passed fewer than nn will be regarded as a regular worker and paid $90,000. Suppose that these examinations are tough and require a lot of studying, especially for the regular workers. Specifically, to pass each examination, exceptional workers face a studying cost valued at $1,000, while regular workers face a studying cost valued at $5,000.11) Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Part c)For the policy to work, it needs to be incentive compatible. The number of examinations required (nn) should be strict enough that the regular workers dont bother to meet it but not so strict as to discourage even the exceptional workers from attempting it. What is the minimum number of examinations required to ensure that the regular workers dont find it worth it to reach the requirement? What is the maximum number of examinations the firm can require beyond which the exceptional workers would just prefer the regular worker wage?Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Part d)Even if the incentive compatibility conditions are met, for the policy to work, the workers need to be willing to participate in the screening process at all instead of just taking their outside employment opportunities. For the regular workers, theyre definitely willing to participate because they wont be taking the examinations, but will still be getting $90,000. What is the maximum number of examinations that the employer can require before the exceptional workers will take their outside employment opportunity?11) Adverse Selection in the Labor Market (Part e)Propose one specific value of nn that would make this hiring policy a successful screen, thus allowing the employer to differentiate between the two different types of workers based on the actions of the workers?
