Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Finally, a review of the literature indicates that the U.S. faces at least a decade of severe physician shortages, a desperate situation that must be resolved now, since it takes a long time to train a doctor. This has caused a lack of needed doctors in smaller facilities, and the federal programs responsible for paying and subsidizing medical positions for students are in a financial state of crisis. As a result of the financial crisis, medical student interns must work longer hours, at a detriment to their safety and the safety of others. The safety of others that is placed at risk involves the general public as well as the patients that the over-tired medical student is supporting or treating. In an effort to address the uneven distribution of physicians in the United States, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which heavily subsidizes graduate medical education, is tracking down unused resident positions and reallocating them to hospitals it deems the most in need of more physicians."

Abstract
As in any business, capital financing in the health care field, is very important. Without proper financial planning, budgeting and working capital, a company is headed for financial ruin. This paper shows that obtaining capital can be done in various ways and should be well planned and executed. If properly planned, a business has a good chance of survival. Without planning, bankruptcy could be the result.
From the Paper
"St. Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers, a New York healthcare provider, announced that it would file Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after losing its working capital loan. St. Vincent's defaulted on $30 million of its pre-petition loan committed by HFG (Healthcare Finance Group), which had agreed to provide a total of $100 million, in DIP (Debtor-in-Possession) financing. DIP financing is used in bankruptcy so that while the bankruptcy is being processed the business will have working capital for the duration. In many cases, DIP financing is considered attractive because it is done only under order of the Bankruptcy Court and allows the company to execute a Plan of Reorganization (POR)."

Financing Elderly Health Care, 2004.
This paper discusses the problems of financing elderly health care, one of the most foundational issues in our culture.
935 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that limiting elderly health care is a substantial ethical question. The author points out that the current health system is based upon gaining profits by cutting corners on standard preventative care and by offering substantially overblown services to those who can afford to pay for them or who have no voice to say no. The paper urges that cost caps be set on new technology, pharmaceutical profits, administrative inefficiency, and the reduction in duplicate services.
From the Paper
"Within the debate, there are some foundational ideas associated with just how the costs for elderly care will be covered. The ideas are sound, even when argued by those who advocate severe restrictions for the care of elderly. Gleaning from this debate the actual meat of the problem and the solution can be difficult but the most reasonable summation of the issue is made by Alan Sager, who by the way advocates for guaranteed full access to health care by the elderly, ?Priorities must be set democratically. Community representatives, patient advocates, organized workers, and other affected parties---not just physicians and hospital administrators---should make the difficult decisions about how to allocate resources...?"

Abstract
This paper examines how, unlike virtually every other industrialized country in the world, the United States provides medical care to its citizens through the private workplace and finances it primarily through private insurance. It looks at how expenditures on such public programs as Medicare and Medicaid have increased the government's portion of the nation's health care burden since World War II. It explores how the majority of health care funding still comes from the private sector and how this has left millions of people uninsured because they are considered too ?wealthy? or too young to qualify for public assistance, but are not employed at places where they receive health benefits.

Cost Containment by the Commercial Insurance Industry
Cost Containment by Health Care Providers
Looking into the Future of Health Care
From the Paper
"Although the United States spends far more on health care in actual dollars and as a percentage of the GDP than any other country of the world, the U.S. ranks low among industrialized countries in overall life expectancy and infant mortality. Recently, President Bush proposed a tax credit of $2000 for the purchase of health insurance for the millions of uninsured Americans. But this would not address another serious problem of uninsured and underinsured Americans, namely that employees who have medical problems cannot get health insurance at all. Not only are they unable to obtain insurance, their condition often prevents them from obtaining employment from employers who offer medical insurance because they are bad risks."

From the Paper
"Equity financing is the act of raising money for company activities by selling common or preferred stock to individual or institutional investors. In return for the money paid, shareholders receive ownership interests in the corporation. Equity (or common stock) offers residual claims. On a balance sheet, equity equals total assets less all liabilities. Equity financing is generally recommended for a business that's experiencing very high growth with high investment risk. The major sources of equity financing include individuals starting the business, friends and family, angel investors, venture capitalists, and public equity markets. Equity can take several forms including preferred stock, common stock, limited partnership interest, and project equity."

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Forms of Financing
Motivations for Financing Terrorism
Exploitation of the Media
Disturbing Trends
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Terrorists, of course, do not consider themselves to be irrational or self-righteous, they believe they are defending Muslims from Western domination and economic exploitation. Millions of Muslims throughout the Middle East share this belief, and help fund terrorist groups by making contributions to Islamic charities, which greatly exacerbates the difficulties for Western governments and intelligence agencies trying to cut off the financing of terrorism.
"The fundamental problem in combating the exploitation of Islamic charities by terrorist groups is the fact that the act of charity forms a very important part of Muslim law and tradition."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects and benefits of micro-financing in specimen countries, focusing on their respective exchange rates. Special focus is given to inflationary pressures, demand of goods and purchasing power, which may be affected by micro-financing.
Outline
I. Introduction: What is Micro-financing
II. Financials and Micro-financing
III. Micro-financing and exchange rates
IV. Benefits of Micro-financing
V. Conclusion
From the Paper
"The main benefits of micro-credit appear to be reduced vulnerability of the poor to adverse circumstances, increased consumption in the same group, and empowerment of women. The major spin-off of the micro-credit movement at the grassroots level has been the fact that women have used this system to come out and join a mainstream activity in the village. In many areas, particularly where there has been support from NGOs or strong SHGs, women have gained a voice and been able to use this space to come out of their traditional roles into a more 'proactive' male space."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the subject of global financing and the exchange rate.

The paper specifically looks at how multinational banks can minimize the risks associated with global financing.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Global Financing
Risk Management
Conclusions and Commentary
From the Paper
"Blount (1998) suggests that reductions in risks associated with global financing will stem from cooperative efforts between banks and political leaders. Such efforts should involve "defining uniform codes for security and financing issues" and "braiding exchange trading and bank settlement processes" in a manner that creates "multi-currency accounting" and financing systems (Blount, 1998: 38). While on paper this concept seems simple, it is often difficult to commingle varying political and economic interests between companies to create stable bank financing and exchange trading policies to which every country will agree to. At most global financial institutions can hedge risks by looking for and working with countries that demonstrate stability and an active interest in cooperating with other countries to create more fluid "global capital markets" (Blount, 1998: 38)."

Abstract
This paper explains campaign financing and the federal and state levels of campaigning funds. The paper discusses the finance reform laws that prohibit "soft money" and place restrictions on contributions. The paper relates that if the current trend continues, eventually congressional financing will be so regulated that even an ordinary citizen will be able to run for a seat in congress.
From the Paper
"It is said "Campaign financing in Congress has become so scandalous that is gives the wealthy in Congress inordinate influence, while ordinary citizens are virtually excluded from a meaningful role." It is true that Congress relies heavily on finances in order to maintain/achieve incumbency, however there are many financial restriction regarding campaign finances. Finance reform laws now prohibit the use of "soft money" (money obtain outside the restrictions of federal law). This soft money restriction came about with the passage of the Shay's- Meehan Campaign Finance Reform Law. However, there are restrictions on individual contributions, as established in the out come of the Buckley v. Valeo case. These restrictions have limited the effect of campaign spending on voters, and created little negative impact (aside from a lack of money) on the Congress as a whole."

Abstract
This paper considers the different means available to hospitals for financing capital construction projects. The focus is on mortgages and bond issues. The paper touches on the general outlines of these methods of financing and discusses the characteristics of success funding arte in an effort to define the way hospitals can increase their likelihood of successfully raising funds.
From the Paper
"The financing of hospital construction projects has become an important public health issue in the past several decades. As the population has burgeoned through an influx of immigrants and a newly-expanding birth rate, and as the large "baby boom" population moves through middle age into retirement years, the demand for services that hospitals provide has grown. Concurrently, the sources of financing for hospital construction have shifted from public and philanthropic contributions to incursion of long-term debt (Washington State Department of Health, n.d.)."

Abstract
This work is a detailed analysis of the automobile financing schemes for Chrysler. It lists all the various controlled and uncontrolled variables as well as explains the demands for automobile financing. Among those are prices and special deals, money spent on advertising, average income of consumers, consumer taste and the expectation of services at Chrysler Financial.
From the Paper
"With the slowing of the economy, Chrysler is forced to give incentives such as special interest rates, factory rebates, and free equipment group upgrades to maintain sales levels that stay competitive. During the time of economic slowdown, there is less money flowing in and out of consumer?s hands, which means fewer business transactions taking place. This has an impact of all aspects of the economy, including car sales. In order to entice people to purchase cars during periods such as these, it is necessary to offer lowered rates and added incentives to interest the would-be buyer. This buyer power gives the consumer a financial advantage, thus leading to more demand for vehicles."

Introduction
Financing Options
The Effectiveness of the Options Chosen: Financial Outlook
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Financing is essentially to helping a company's strategic development and growth, as is clearly shown by Toyota. However, with projects or changes in strategic goals that require financial obligations from a corporation, then many options that fit the general financial position of the firm has to be examined. Options available are endless, however Toyota has to use the right combination to gain the needed capital while simultaneously dealing with the debt/equity balancing. Similarly, the financing techniques above are also chosen to ensure the optimal cash flow balance; which is enough to help with the daily cash flow needs, while not being excessive that results in a loss of opportunity interest. The overall composition of the paper was to clearly outline the options available to Toyota as they seek funding for the full cost of the recall at $925 million. The structure and method of each type is significantly different, but can be advantageous to Toyota as they seek funding."

"The International Finance Corporation is a United Nations specialized agency affiliated with but legally separate from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank). The IFC was founded in 1956 in an effort to stimulate the economic development of its members by providing capital for private enterprises, the IFC has targeted its aid toward less-developed countries and has been their largest multilateral source of private-sector equity financing and loans. The IFC is headed by a president, who also serves as president of the World Bank; governors and executive directors of the World Bank also serve at the IFC, though it has its own operational and legal staff.

Post-High School Education Financing, 2005.
This paper discusses problems of financing post-high school education especially for students from lower economic strata.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in looking at a cross section of any campus whether it is a university, college (private), junior college or a two-year trade school, most students in the lower end of the economic strata and require extremely tight budgeting to finance their education. The author points out that, despite the vast amounts of grant monies, scholarships, student-loans available and other sources of income, education financing is becoming an even greater problem because most of institutions are being forced to raise costs to the student body because of their own budgetary shortfalls. The paper stresses that the student loan programs at first glance appear to be a relief for the tightly budgeted student; however, there are some pitfalls to these programs that can do more harms than good for the over extended student.

Today's University, College, Junior College and Trade School Student
The University and Private Four Year College Student
The Student Loan Trap
Student Loan Default Due to the Failure to Budget
From the Paper
"The problem as found by the Inspector General of the GSA was that the requirements for proofs by the Education Department were nearly non-existent. For example, in many cases there was no death certificate at all, in its place the Education Department accepted newspaper obituary notices, mostly forged was all that was required. Where permanent disability claims were concerned Social Security records proved that over 35,000 were quite able bodied and working making enough money to easily repay their indebtedness."
