The Superferry, was one of the biggest controversy here in Hawaiʻi. According to an article in the Honolulu Star-bulletin Mike Fitzgerald (a privately funded economic development promoter) states that the Superferry would be a positive change for Hawaiʻi, but there were others who felt otherwise.
The Superferry was a interisland ferry system that was called the Hawaiian Superferry, the founders of the Superferry believed that the Superferry would create the “marine highway” of Hawaiʻi. The ferry was 320 feet long and 90 feet wide with 4 engines that could keep the vessel at a cruising speed of 47 miles an hour. It carried as many as 900 passengers and 250 vehicles such as; car, trucks, and even buses, this large vessel will provide a “mini-cruise” like experience, there will be a full-service resturants, a coffee house, a fast-food operations system and a full bar.

    An increasing issue within the health care field is the inability to collect debt from the growing population of uninsured or underinsured patients. Healthcare organizations may be struggling to meet operational margins because the industry has never treated its customers like other retail-oriented sectors of the economy. A McKinsy and Company report states that hospitals incur sixty billion dollars in bad debt annually because they typically collect only ten to twenty percent of a total uninsured patient balance after service. (MacKenzie, 2009) This is due to a number of reasons, including poor accounting practices or a lack of patient information. This paper will discuss how one hospital, California’s Sutter Health, has taken steps to correct this issue. It will analyze the accounting practices put into place by Sutter Health and the success of this practice. This author will also provide an alternate solution to the issue of debt collection for self-pay patients as well as an opinion concerning the actions taken by Sutter Health.…

    BACKGROUND: Super-utilizers are individuals with disproportionately high inpatient and emergency department (ED) use, and mostly have multiple chronic conditions and use multiple concurrent medications. They place a substantial burden on the U.S. healthcare system and have become the focus of policy initiatives aimed at reducing their disproportionate inpatient and ED use. Medication management is critical for these patients since nonadherence to essential chronic medications is associated with poor health outcomes, and higher health care utilization and costs.…

    Iron's Case Analysis

    America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. So much has been sacrificed since the 1700’s to be able to give America that title. Being a junior member of the Justice Department, I have evaluated such cases from Irons and Herman, along with the philosophical readings from Hume, Russell, Arendt, and Cox which date all the way back from the mid-1700’s. With the different perspectives, but ample similarities between them all, we are able to tie in present day events with certain bans and policies implemented today. Iron’s prologue starts off by noting that the Supreme Court has so much power to choose what cases it sees and a majority of cases that have been tried to be reversed, have not been. Iron’s goes on to mention that racial…

    “One of the most powerful laws in the universe is the law of unintended consequences” (Levitt, S. 2009) This is one of the primarily premises that the book establishes, with an extraordinary sense of humor and interesting data, Steven and Stephen set us in the real economics world, in which the common factors that all the teachers show to their students are applied in such a way that the real job is getting done. The way the authors write all the interesting facts of today´s modern life, including correct and simple explanations, so that anyone can understand all the topics without having doubts of the concepts and of the more difficult topics of economy. The examples they give provide us a fun way of learning, and of expanding our thoughts far beyond the theory of economics. Throughout the book, we are exposed to historical, political and sociocultural aspects of the example given, not only to give the reader a complete background, but also to make the reader get involved into the facts that are exposed. This book also give us a chance to be reflexive about almost every aspect that we normally do not bother to think of, for instance, the ordinary task of donate money, rather than be a real help to others, people use donations to make them feel more comfortable with themselves, for recognition from the local newspaper or from that cute girl that asked us a coin for any purpose.…

    In addition, the majority of Hawaii’s citizens, particularly the Native Hawaiians, are object to Federal Recognition. Forcing something on people who do not want it is what got us into this situation in the first place. The difference is, in this case, it is more like “I know what is good for you better than you yourself do.” That does not sit well with most people. The people have spoken, and they do not want Federal Recognition.…

    The Open Boat: a Response

    Throughout the 1800’s, transportation seemed more feasible upon water, as opposed to having to make an attempt by traveling on dry land. The Open Boat, as written by Stephen Crane, gives us the story of a group of men who are set to embark on a journey through the treacherous waters which are in their path. It was during this era that the idea of motored vehicles had never even been mentioned, and the idea of flight by humans was unfathomable. Although the train had been developed at this point in time, transportation through water was just a concept that everyone felt was much more adequate. It is in Crane’s novel that we can envision some of the tumultuous dangers that can occur when you least expect it, and how an individual can react to the current situation.…

    The Jones act is officially named The Merchant Marine Act of 1920, but the original Act dates from 1898, and was, subsequently incorporated into the act of 1920. It was named the Jones Act after senator Wesley Jones who sponsored it, and the name stuck around. Concerns about the health of the merchant marine and the protection of U.S. seamen were the cause for passing the act in the first place. It recognized the innate dangers of working at sea, and the value of training and educating seamen. Wesley Jones was strongly influenced by protectionist political views to ensure U.S superiority and dominance in domestic marine trade.…

    My topic was about the pro’s of the overthrow of the monarchy. A few of the reasons why the overthrow of the monarchy was good was because Hawaii started to become multi-cultural . Being multi-cultural can be looked upon as good if you see it as a way to diversify our cultures. Not to many states are as diversified as Hawaii which is special, some people are only one race like me but a lot of people here are a combination of many different ethnicities like Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, Samoan, black, and white this combination of all the ethnicities is what makes the people here that live in Hawaii unique.…
