write an argumentative essay on the topic of the current health-care debate, referring to the health care bill that was recently passed by Congress. The topic should follow this basic pattern:
1. Pick an aspect of the health-care debate that you would like to know more about.
2. Get sources for and against any part of your aspect. Study both sides carefully.
3. Come to a conclusion for or against that aspect of health care. This paper cannot be a diatribe for or against President Obama.
4. Make sure your conclusion is based on the facts and expert advice you found rather than on your own emotional response.
5. Write your paper, using the sources and arguments you found.
These are some of the aspects of the health-care debate that you may consider:
•the public option,
•torte reform,
•insuring the uninsured,
•corresponding changes in Medicare,
•the opinions of the health-care industry on the current legislation.
•The legality of requiring all Americans to buy health insurance
•The cost of the health care legislation
These are just a few of the topics you could consider for your paper. Pick a topic about which you are not too knowledgeable so that you can learn something through your research.
Here are some ways to complete your project:
1. Do your research first to find at least two sources on your topic.
2. Participate in the discussion board to get an idea of what types of arguments people make on both sides of the issue.
3. Develop your argument and put it into a thesis statement.
4. Select at least four passages from your sources that you want to use as quotes.
5. Write an outline, marking your points of arguments, your ideas for refuting arguments from the other side, and places to insert your quotes. A good plan would be to explain one argument point in each of the three body text paragraphs.
6. Write your essay, using quotes from your sources.
7. Write your Works Cited page.
Your essay needs to be 500-750 words with at least 5 paragraphs. Be sure you state your arguments in logical order and include arguments from the opposite point of view that you refute. You will need to cite two sources to back up your arguments with source notes, which means that you will have a Works Cited page. It is essential that you quote from at least two sources to back up your opinion! You will also need a Works Cited page with these sources. Only include the sources that you used to quote from in your paper. PUT YOUR THESIS STATEMENT IN ALL CAPS
