The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is not a federal statute but where administrative requirements man be found.  Must be either a federal statute/state statute or you must cite both statutes, if applicable.

List the two legal obligations from the previous section,  then discuss two (2) specific consequences from the federal and or state law, one consequence for each legal obligation, for the organizations’ non-compliance.

In other words, you must discuss one (1) consequence for each legal obligation and have one real life researched case for each consequence. See outline below. Cases must be found via the internet or print media or from personal real life experiences.  In other words, what would happen if the organization neglected to meet its obligations to its patients? Be specific. Provide the specific Federal and or state law citations to back up your claim of the consequences.   Provide link to source of information.
Legal obligation 1  (topic sentence supported by one specific consequence and a real-world case found in the literature). Sources must be cited using APA.
Legal obligation 2  (topic sentence supported by one specific consequence and a real-world case found in the literature) Sources must be cited using APA.

*This was my introduction to my class:
Hello Class! My name is Eddie Koo and I am 34 years old. I used to live in South Korea after my military service but now I reside in Severn, Maryland. I came back to the states after 5 years in South Korea because my dad had a stroke. Now I work at the VA hospital as a medical tech and also trying to graduate by next spring. My family and friends are very important to me and I would do pretty much anything for them.
In the beginning, I used to take one class at a time but now I’m taking three classes per sections. I took this course to better and to increase my skills in communications. Currently, I am working on BS in Health Management with Minor in Criminal Justice. My hobbies are usually outdoor activities. I like playing flag football, basketball, bowling, snowboarding, and fishing.
