Discussion: Evidence Base in Design
When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.
In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

The
outbreak
of
Covid
-19
has
caused
signifi
can
t
health and
economic
impacts
in the
United
States
.
The
coronavirus
can
damage
the
lungs,
heart,
and
brain,
which
increases
the
risk
of
long
–
term
health
problems.
The
climbing
mortality
and
morbidity
rates
of
COVID
-19
severely
affected
the healthcare
industry,
including
employees
and
business
owners.
Many
could
not
work
because
they
contracted
the
disease,
some
were
laid
off
due
to
unsustainable
overheads
by
businesses
, and businesses
closed
down
due to
unrecoverable
expenses.
The
level
of health and economic support policies
put
in
place
by
gove
rnment
s
played
an
important
role
in
how
certain
countries and
industrial
sectors
fared
(Cantore
et
al.,
2020). The U.S. government
enacted
a
bill
,
the
Families
First
Coronavirus
Response
Act
(FFCRA)
H.R.
6201
, on
March
18,
2020,
to
provide
paid
sick
leave,
tax
credits,
and
free
COVID-19
testing;
expanding
food
assistance
and
unemployment
benefits;
and
increasing
Medicaid
fundin
g
(Congress.gov,
2020).
This
bill is
created
to
respond
to the coronavirus
outbreak.
It
aimed
to respond to the health and
financial
burden
of the
vulnerable
United States
people.
The virus’s immediate and ongoing consequences have pushed the government to take quick actions and passed the bill in a few days. The FFCRA explicitly protects working families from facing the terrible choice between staying home to avoid spreading the virus and losing the money they need to survive (congress.gov, 2020). The bill has many sections mentioned mostly to support and provide benefits to employees, employers, children, families, and health workers.
In this discussion, I will focus on the paid leave for up to three months for those who have to stay home because of the virus and unemployment benefits for those who lose their job or are furloughed during the crisis (Congress.gov, 2020). The law extends emergency paid sick leave to workers diagnosed with or in quarantine for Covid-19—the disease caused by the novel Coronavirus.
The bill would provide employees with two weeks of paid sick time for two weeks or an emergency family and medical leave up to 12 weeks if the employee is unable to work or telework because they must care for a child under 18 years of age whose school or care provider is closed or unavailable with reasons related to Coronavirus emergency. It applies to employers with more than 50 and less than 500 employees. But due to the shortage of health care providers and emergency response teams during the pandemic, they allow employers of these workers to exclude such employees from the application of the provisions (Saperstein et al., 2020). The law is also unlikely to help workers whose companies are too small or too big (Saperstein et al., 2020).
According to the latest estimates from the Census Bureau, 98 percent of workers in the general merchandise industry work for a too-large business to be eligible for paid sick leave under the new law (Fowers & Tan. 2020). Fowers and Tan (2020) stated that only twelve percent of workers in essential industries work for companies that will be guaranteed coverage by the bill. There are still ample workers who have not able to avail themselves of paid sick leave. These workers are the essential workers such as grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, and those excluded like the health care providers and the emergency response team.
People around the nation are facing significant challenges for almost a year now. And the numbers confirmed cases of Covid-19 tell how the coronavirus changed Americans’ lives. I believe this bill can stimulate economic improvement and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the law had recently expired on December 31, 2020, and the number of cases infected with COVID-19 is still surging. The new $900 billion coronavirus pandemic relief package signed by President Trump on December 27, 2020, did not extend the mandatory paid leave provisions of the FFCRA (Frenzinger, 2021). However, the law does extend payroll credits to employers that voluntarily grant paid FFCRA leave to their employees through March 31, 2021 (Frenzinger, 2021). I hope the U.S. government will extend a better version of the mandatory paid leave provisions or proposed new bills to support more people in this crisis time especially the front-liners.

I chose
S.2661
,
the
National Suicide Hotline
Designation Act of 2020
as the
health policy that I would be discussing this week. This healthcare policy designates
9
–
8-
8
as the universal telephone
numb
er for suicide prevention and
mental health
help.
(
S.2661
–
116th Congress (2019
–
2020): National Suicide Hotline
Designation Act of 2020
, n.d.)
The current suicide hotline is a ten
–
digit
number and
with this implementation it will be easier for people
in
need to remember a 3
-digit numb
er. This number will be universal for the suicide hotline and the veterans help
line.
(S.2661 – 116th Congress (2019-2020): National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020, n.d.)
According to the CDC, suicide is currently the tenth leading cause of death
in
the United States in 2018.(
Suicide and Self
–
Harm Injury Faststats
, 2020)
These
numbers are shocking to say the least and with the current world pandemic having
access to mental health care has just gotten trickier. According to NAMI, “the need
for 9
-8-8
and a continuum of crisis services is greater than ever.”(
By July 2022, 9
-8-8
Will Be the Nationwide
Mental Health Crisis and Suicide Prevention Number
,
2020, para. 3)
A“24/7 crisis hotline is the gateway to any crisis system and is a core
service that wi
ll connect people in crisis to mobile crisis services, crisis stabilization
programs and peer support services.”
(By July 2022, 9-8-
8 Will Be the Nationwide
Mental Health Crisis and Suicide Prevention Number
, 2020, para. 4)
I believe there is evidence to support the need for 9-8-8 as mental health conditions continue to be on the rise. S.2661, has been signed into law and should be implemented by July 2022. (S.2661 – 116th Congress (2019-2020): National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020, n.d.) Hopefully with this implementation people in mental health crises will be fast tracked to the help they need and not end up in jail or in the emergency department waiting on services.
