While the board members don’t have much background in or knowledge about how to do this, they are willing to consider your proposal. They have requested that you present them with a proposal that addresses the following: a) What are the pros and cons of providing coverage? b) What types of coverage are available? Which are options for the organization? c) How much would the options cost? How much would the organization be required to pay? Should the employees share in the cost? What would be the employees’ share? d) What is the best option? III Executive Decisions: 2. Another major issue is the lack of health insurance coverage of the patients. With the recent recession and job losses that have occurred, more of the clinic’s patients seem to be uninsured clients. Again, the board would like a proposal that covers: a) What are the options that may potentially be available to patients? b) What are the pros and cons of these? c) Which seem to offer the best potential, given the current circumstances? d) How can the clinic assist its patients with learning about the options? 3.
