NURS 6050 Agenda Comparison Grid and Fact Sheet or Talking Points Brief Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis Using the information you recorded in Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid, complete the following to document information about the population health/healthcare issue your selected
| Administration (President Name) | (Current President) | (Previous President) | (Previous President) |
| Which administrative agency would most likely be responsible for helping you address the healthcare issue you selected? | The food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a role in regulating the prescription of drugs and other biological therapeutics. Regulations ensure that appropriate medications that have high efficacy are provided to the patients. | Department of Human Health Services (HHS) has the major goals of ending opioid use, promoting biomedical research, promoting mental health, and promote equity to access to care for all people. Eradicating opioid use will reduce the transmission of HIV through the limited sharing of needles. The research will help in coming up with new ideas on treating patients are reducing the burden of disease. | The Center of Disease Center has a role in coordinating with other local and global health personnel to come up with strategies to prevent HIV infection and respond appropriately to outbreak. |
| How do you think your selected healthcare issue might get on the agenda for the current and two previous presidents? How does it stay there? | HIV/AIDS has led to the death of up to 700,000 in the USA since 1990 (HIV Basics, 2021). If proper measures are not put in place to curb its spread, then more deaths will be reported. It is therefore a major healthcare agenda. | HIV/AIDS is a healthcare agenda since over 35 million people living with the condition. Up to 90% of new infection rates are spread by those who are not on care and those who do not know their status. | A lot of money and resources are spent on taking care of HIV/AIDS patients. Increasing expenditure in the taking of these patients will mean that other development issues are put a bay. |
| Who would you choose to be the entrepreneur/ champion/sponsor of the healthcare issue you selected for the current and two previous presidents? | I will choose Bill Gates and Melinda as champions for coming up with a foundation that offers HIV grants to help in caring and preventing infection spread, the foundation offers over $3 billion grants. | I will choose president trump himself for coming up with a strategy to eradicate HIV by increasing preventive strategies, increased treatment of those affected, offering quick response where needed. | I will choose president Obama himself as the champion as had a vision of eradicating HIV globally by working with other agencies. Implementing the affordable care act ensures that even the vulnerable population can access care. |

There is no known cure, however, prevention can help in reducing new cases.
Previous and current presidents have been putting up strategies to help in eradicating and reducing rates of infections.

Intravenous drug users were targeted in this strategy as they were deemed vulnerable to infection transmission.
There was a strategy to provide free syringes to intravenous drug users to reduce the rate of infection. On the other hand, President Obama came up with NHAS that aimed at reducing infection rates, improving access to care, early treatment, and increased viral suppression. His strategies were aimed to not only help America but also deve
