Smoke-harmed detainees and staff require costly medical care, for different tobacco impacts. Citizens pay, both by expanded duties, and by expanded insurance rates. The prison authorities must raise the issue with government officials and ask them how much smoking costs citizens. When inmates smoke in jail, more bills, hospital expenses, come to citizens: for the smokers' conditions, and for those of the nonsmokers around, being unconstitutionally pushed to inhale contaminated air (Ducat, 2009). Reaction 2

Approximately 50% of smokers die from tobacco related ailments (World Health Organization, 2007). Available evidence confirms that prisoners die from cancers related to smoking at higher rates than the public. Further, second hand smoking is also threatening lives of non-smokers within the system of prisons. They include workers, visitors, prison officers and other inmates. The ban on smoking in prison will dramatically reduce the diseases caused by secondary smoking. Diseases caused by mainstream smoking are similar to those caused by passive smoking. Therefore, the court is just in preventing inmates from smoking via a ban. This is expected to improve the health of inmates while reducing long-term costs of treating illness related to smoking.

Smoking must be prohibited in any building directly leased or owned by the government, including healthcare institutions. Smoking will only be allowed in secluded areas such as visiting rooms and waiting rooms. A private room may be designated as smoking assuming that all persons assigned to such room have asked for a room where smoking is allowed. The restriction applies to intermediate care facilities and nursing facilities (Ducat, 2009).

Part C

The Bill of Rights marks the beginning fro diverse healthcare organizations working together...

The article covers the individual right to managed care, choice of health professional, confidentiality, a role to determine treatment and accountability planning. This article puts forth principles governing all managed care organizations and consumer groups (Hendrick, 2010).
Health care experts have devoted themselves to the welfare of patients. However, every day in the hospital settings, we see the damage made to patients who are denied the care they require by insurance plans or managed care professionals.

Patients whose private medical records are not treated with respect, and who regularly are not informed about the treatment options, for the sake of controlling costs consistently ends up generating profits at the liability of patients. It is expected that individuals will utilize the standards epitomized in the Bill of Rights to request and receive the care they require (McWay & McWay, 2010). The lack of a consensus report is a medical break in healthcare provision. Currently, provisions of this document have made both providers and consumers to speak in tight harmony against health systems violating or reducing consumer satisfaction and healthcare quality.
