Our health, or the absence of such, can be very expensive. Many vulnerable populations simply do not have private funds available to pay for their care.  Relating your research to individuals with mental conditions, select a mental illness of your choice and discuss your response to the following questions:

• What public financing resources are available to individuals with this particular mental condition?
• What are the eligibility requirements and restrictions to receive these funds?
• What happens if eligibility standards/requirements are not met by those with this illness?
• Research and discuss two methods of alternative funding for care for this group. What are the benefits and limitations of the methods you discussed?

Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Your research and claims must be supported by your course text and at least one other scholarly source. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a U.S. government agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. Its primary role is to protect public health, by ensuring safety and effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, medical devices and food products. There are rigorous steps that may take years, and all these steps must be completed before a drug can be approved. The FDA has made some lifesaving investigational drug therapies available sooner than usual by offering an expedited drug approval process, known as “Fast Track”.

I. Discuss the process and regulations of Fast Track.

II. Identify which medical conditions warrant the use of “Fast Track” drugs.
