A. Hook The best chance of survival is having food and shelter to come back to every night after a long day full of workloads and stress.
B. Thesis Health care is a basic human right every citizen in the United States should receive and be granted no matter the circumstance.
II. Points
A. Article #1 - Health Care Legislation
1. Before Obama signed the PPACA into law, insurance companies held most of the power over policyholders.
2. When Obama took office, he vowed to fight against insurance companies to make sure every American had access to fair health care; as a result, the PPACA was created.
3. Obama also wanted to make sure health care was affordable and that money invested in health care was spent wisely and not just pocketed by insurance companies.
B. Article #2 - Health Care Issues
1. The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights lists medical care among the basic human rights to which all people are entitled.
2. This situation has led some people to call for the government to provide health insurance for all citizens. Others, however, are skeptical of government’s ability to efficiently manage health insurance and oppose any plans that involve government.
3. The issue is made more urgent by rapidly rising health care costs that threaten to overwhelm the country’s current system of health insurance, and the national economy in general.
