The Template:

Make a claim: Something (in this case, the Affordable Care Act) is (bad, good, the best, the worst, effective, ineffective, not sufficient, a solid improvement) if measured by certain criteria (practicality, economics, comparisons with others, politics, from a particular perspective, ethics, etc.).
Think about what is at stake: Who argues the opposite of your claim and why do they make a different evaluation?
List the Criteria: Which criteria make something either good or bad (and for whom)? Which criteria are the most important and why?
This involves analyzing your potential readers: who are your readers and what do they think? Which criteria are they most likely to accept with little explanation and which will they disagree with? Which criteria are fairly obvious, and which do you have to argue for?
Argue: Offer support to convince your audience that your criteria are the most important criteria of measurement. Explain why those criteria matter.
Offer evidence: Provide your evaluation argument. Given the criteria you have established, how does your something (in this case the Affordable Care Act) measure or rank? What evidence can you provide to substantiate this?
This might involve: Describe each criterion and then analyze how well what you are evaluating meets that criterion.
Anticipate and disarm counter-arguments: address where readers might question either your criteria or how they apply to your subject. Make sure to provide concrete evidence and research. Address opposing viewpoints by acknowledging how their evaluations might differ and by showing why your evaluation is better.

Conclude: Conclude that, on the basis of the criteria you set out or the effects you have analyzed, something is good (bad, the worst, effective, ineffective, sufficient, insufficient).
