Respond to my classmates Josette response below :

Hello Class!

Competitive bidding is where contractors submit a bid, like seal bidding, with their most reasonable, competitive price in order to win a contract award. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was implemented in 2014 provides rights and protections to make health care more affordable and understandable

(1). Competitive bidding is a viable alternative to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act when the suppliers are competing for their product at the most reasonable price possible.

Defining factors regarding the competitive bidding process and its survival or failure in the health care arena regarding the implementation of Universal Health Care are that suppliers must submit bid prices in the amount that is willing to be accepted as payment

(2). Then the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) enters a contract with the durable medical equipment (DME) at the price that has been determined by the competitive bid

(2). With a set fee schedule the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pays the qualified supplier based on their pricing.have a relative that was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

There are various blood glucose monitors in the market, however only a few are covered by Medicaid. With competitive bidding, all the various blood glucose monitor suppliers will compete to get their product in the market and try to dominate the market that theirs has the best technology and safety.

With the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act making it more affordable, it eliminates the competition between suppliers and overall, they will have a flat price and the government and tax payers will have to pay into the bucket to make it affordable.

Discuss both the positive and negative aspects as it relates to both parties concerning the Mutual Exchange of Evidence,

“Ten Pages of Content or longer-term paper with proper accreditation addressing:
Florida’s Construction defect statute F.S. 558.001 and the balance of chapter 558 which became effective on May 27, 2003, has caused considerable confusion among construction practitioners and contractors relating to its procedure and enforcement.

This statute dramatically altered the industry in the litigation of construction defect claims by requiring homeowners to provide contractors and other allegedly responsible parties with prior written notice and an opportunity to cure the alleged defects prior to filing a lawsuit.

Furnish a summary of the obligations, responsibilities, and time limitations imposed on the parties required to serve notice of the defect and those parties receiving notice of the defect.

Discuss both the positive and negative aspects as it relates to both parties concerning the Mutual Exchange of Evidence, the Right to Inspect the Property, Destructive Testing, the Contractor’s Failure to Take Any Action, the Contractor’s Failure to Honor an Agreement to Make Repairs, and the time limits to complete promised repairs.

Finally, provide a conclusion regarding the effectiveness of this statute and its benefits if any, to the construction industry and the homeowner.”
