Cost-benefit analysis (CBA), sometimes also called benefit-cost

analysis, is a systematic approach to estimating the strengths and

weaknesses of alternatives. It is used to determine options which

provide the best approach to achieving benefits while preserving savings

in, for example, transactions, activities, and functional business

requirements.

System

The Social Credit System is a national credit rating and blacklist

being developed by the government of China. The social credit initiative

calls for the establishment of a record system so that businesses,

individuals and government institutions can be tracked and evaluated for

trustworthiness. There are multiple forms of the social credit system

being experimented with, while the national regulatory method is based

on whitelisting (termed redlisting in China) and blacklisting.

is Body Part Insurance?

Insuring body parts isn't anything new in the world of celebrities,

but it is a rare type of insurance that now counts athletes among its

numbers. The entire point of insuring a body part is to supplement a

loss of income should that body part become injured, damaged, scarred,

handicapped or lost, preventing the individual from continuing to use it

to generate income.

condition

The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center defines a pre-existing

condition as a "medical condition that occurred before a program of

health benefits went into effect". J. James Rohack, president of the

American Medical Association, has stated on a Fox News Sunday interview

that exclusions, based upon these conditions, function as a form of

"rationing" of health care.
