Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

Claimsmaking is the process of making a successful case for allocating resources to meet a specific recognized need. This is the process through which attention is given to certain needs over others, and it influences policy development by placing some issues, rather than others, on the public agenda. {Examples of effective claimsmaking will vary} To make a successful claim for universal health care, advocates could combine stories of people who have suffered harms from falling through the cracks in existing health care coverage with analysis of the potential cost savings and productivity/competitiveness advances from instituting universal health care. A variety of strategies, including earned and opinion media, recruitment of champions to elevate the issue, and development of pilot innovations to test ideas, could help to maintain attention to the issue.
