Lifeplans, Inc. (2004). "A Comparative Analysis of the Socio-Demographic and Attitudinal Characteristics of Active Buyers and Non-Buyers of Long-Term Care Insurance in the Federal, Private and Public Sectors." U.S. Dept. Of Health and Human Services
As expected, the long-term care plan contracted by and developed for the federal government's employees and eligible relatives quickly became the largest long-term care group plan in the nation. Enrollment, however, was not as high as it could have been, and this study was commissioned in order to determine the demographic differences that existed between those who enrolled in the program and those who actively did not (i.e. received information and made a considered choice not to enroll). The resulting demographic information, obtained by interview, was compared to the demographics observed in other long-term care markets.
When compared to other markets, the buyers of the federal long-term care plan were less likely to be married, more likely to be male, and significantly more likely to be older (above the age of 60). Those enrolling in the federal program were also likely to have higher incomes than buyers of long-term care plans in other markets, though they generally had a lower valuation of assets than private plan enrollees. Most of these comparisons hold true for the non-buyers of the federal program when compared to non-buyers in other markets, questioning the validity of the comparison and suggesting an overall demographic difference between markets.
There were attitudinal difference noted in the groups, as well, and much of this is believed to be the result of specific marketing and education campaigns for the federal program aimed at the potential enrollers. Those in the federal plan market had generally given the plan more thought and had done more retirement planning in general than had the individuals in other markets. Significant re-existing differences, then, were likely slim.

Comparative Analysis Rhode Island and Florida Medicaid The two States that I will be evaluating are Rhode Island and Florida. My home State is South Carolina. The policy concern I zero in, in an attempt to highlight how the two States identified differ from my home, is Medicaid which in essence “provides health coverage to millions of Americans, including eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities”
Patton Fuller Provide a comparative analysis of the last two years of data. In the case of Patton Fuller Hospital, they have been increasing their total amounts of debt, liabilities and assets. This is weakening their financial position with administrators failing to aggressively address rising expenses. At the same time, they are causing the total current and long-term assets to decrease dramatically. The below table is illustrating the overall scope of these

The Virgin Atlantic is a British airline company, owned by Sir Richard Branson and its headquarters being in England (Balmforth, 2009). Similarly, the Kenya Airways Limited is a Kenyan Airline, founded after the termination of the East African Airway. The firm belongs to the Kenyan
Neighborhood Comparative Analysis One the island of Manhattan, each neighborhood contains a distinct demographic makeup and the character of a neighborhood can change almost by the block. To see how the relationship between these highly disparate neighborhoods functions, one can compare two neighborhoods in order to reveal the symbiotic interaction between them. By comparing census data from one postal code of the Upper West Side, 10025, with that of its next
