Now that you have had a chance to read, absorb and comment on the “The Nine Deadly Sins of Project Planning†in our Week 2 Discussion, for this Assignment we are going to take a more in depth and personal look at the McConnell article. For many students, the article appears to be simple “common sense” however as you found out in our Discussions, people from different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, geographic location and education actually have very different perspectives on what “common sense” is. Everyone is more or less susceptible to each of the ‘Sins’ but more than likely 2 or 3 stood out for you personally more than the others. For this Assignment, please identify at least 3 or more ‘sins’ that you feel you specifically have had or still have to deal with and write a 500 – 700 word paper that discusses how you are going to prepare yourself against these “deadly sins†so that you will successfully complete the project of your University education.

Politics and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.
The suppliers of legislative benefits are legislators, and their primary goal is to be re-elected. Thus, legislators need to maximize their chances for re-election, which requires political support. Legislators are assumed to be rational and to make cost-benefit calculations when faced with demands for legislation. However, the legislator’s cost-benefit calculations are not the cost-benefits to society of enacting particular legislation. Instead, the benefits are the additional political support the legislator would receive from supporting legislation and the lost political support they would incur as a result of their action. When the benefit to legislators (positive political support) exceeds their costs (negative political support) they will support legislation. (page 27)
