This week's discussion will be focused on a topic that is very relevant to today's health care environment. We will be discussing the additional health care costs that need to be budgeted for as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom (ended 8/10) and Operation New Dawn (ended Dec 2011). Please begin by reading the articles provided in the Discussion sub-folder of the Week 7 Course Materials folder. Then, join us in the discussion board. For your original post: Tell us the one fact in these articles you found most surprising and what types of health care entities will be directly impacted by this fact. Be sure to include HOW the health care entity will be impacted by your chosen fact. If you were the manager of the type of organization that you mentioned in Part 1, based on these articles would you prepare your budget as a static budget or a flexible budget? Why?
