Debate: American healthcare system.
The U.S. healthcare system has been a controversial topic for decades. Here are the aspects and guidance questions to address for this essay:
Identify a current issue being debated about the American healthcare system.
Explain two competing solutions to this problem.
Evaluate which one is preferable.
Address the responsibilities of each level of government, which are federal, state, and local. (Most of the essay will be about the federal government).
Address the responsibilities of each of the three branches of the federal government.
REQUIREMENTS:
No less than 500 word minimum length, not including references listed at the end or footnotes if used. The conclusion drives the length of the actual paper.
Incorporation of concepts and terms from the required readings.
Inclusion of facts from a recent news article about the topic/solution.
Correct spelling, grammar, and formatting, whether it’s APA, MLA, or Chicago/Turabian footnotes.
Strong paragraphs, solid introduction, and a conclusion that contains lessons and takeaway. A conclusion is measured in paragraphs and will not be a single block of text with multiple ideas crammed inside, or just a summary of what you wrote. A summary is not a conclusion. I don’t want an abstract, just a strong introduction.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
