The Rule Day Club began in 1932 during the final year of prohibition, and the beginning years of the great depression. This club acquired its name because it met on the second Monday of every month, which at the time was colloquially known as “Rule Day” or the day “the law made certain writs returnable after service to the civil common law courts in Baltimore.” Unlike the Lawyers’ Round Table—which respected the legal restraints imposed by prohibition—the members of the Rule Day Club “freely imbibed” on the grounds that liquor was an “institutionalized ritual.” Indeed, the Rule Day Club was founded at Congressman John Philip Hill’s rowhome at 3 West Franklin Street, which the congressman had conveniently renamed “Franklin Farms” in order to…

The Occupational Safetey and Health Administration (OSHA) is part of the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA issued a "Directive" under which each employer in selected industries was to be inspected unless it adopted a "Comprehensive Compliance Program (CCP)"-a safety and health program designed to meet standards that in some respects exceeded those otherwise required by law. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States who represents the industry-objected to the Directive and filed a petition for review with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Chamber claimed, in part that OSHA did not use proper rulemaking procedures in issuing the directive. OSHA argued that it was not required to follow those procedures because the Directive itself was a "rule of procedure." OSHA claimed that the rule did not "alter the rights or interests of parties, although it may alter the manner in which the parties present themselves or their viewpoints to the agency."…

Government agencies formulate and issue rules, statements designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy. Through rule making, government agencies can regulate the future conduct of persons. Rule making is essentially a legislative action because, like the making of laws, the making of rules is an action that becomes applicable in the future. In contrast to rule making, adjudication is a process of determining pas and present rights and liabilities. The result of an adjudicative proceeding is the issuance of an order, rather than a…
Rulemaking is the creation, amend, or reject and repeal rules. Rules are used by agencies of the government after Congress passes statutes. These are also called regulations. Regulations do not start in the executive branch of government where agencies form. They start in the Congress, where they are the requirements for the establishment of the agency involved or function of an agency. The rules start with a legislative act of Congress.…

The American Health Care system needs to be constantly improved to keep up with the demands of America’s health care system. In order for the American Health Care system to improve policies must be constantly reviewed. Congress still plays a powerful role in public policy making (Morone, Litman, & Robins, 2008). A health care policy is put in place to reach a desired health outcome, which will hopefully have a meaningful effect on people. People in position of authority advocates for a new policy for the group they have special interest in helping. The Health care system is formed by the health care policy making process (Abood, 2007). There are public, institutional, and business policies related to health care developed by hospitals, accrediting organizations, or managed care organizations (Abood, 2007). A policy is implemented to improve the health among people in the United States. Some policies take longer than others to be implemented if they are a big change, controversial, or costly (Abood, 2007). There are three phases in the policy making process. Those phases and the complete process of how a policy that will help improve access to care among women in the United States living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) becomes a policy will be discussed. Improving access to care among women is important because women living with HIV/AIDS face unique challenges (Kaiser, 2011). Trends show that women are more prone to heterosexual transmission of HIV and women make up a growing share of new AIDS cases in the United States (Kaiser, 2011). A policy that will benefit women and girls living with HIV/AIDS is needed to help them have access to care and treatment. Preventing new infections among women and girls is also an important issue that should be addressed for the new policy. There are many issues in America and knowing why Congress will react or not react to certain issues is not…

In understanding regulatory agencies the differences between regulation and legislation needs defining. Legislation is the law that has been passed by a voting process and regulation is the responsibility of the regulatory board appointed to enforce laws once the law is passed; it sets forth rules on how the laws are to be implemented and to what degree. In health care the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has the predominant responsibility to enforce legislation that impacts the health and well-being of Americans. Under the umbrella of HHS there are 13 regulatory agencies tasked with setting rules on the enforcement of the legislation passed by lawmakers.…
