Rhetorical activities #3
The issue I am going to discuss here, very broadly, is health-care and some of the circulating viewpoints and arguments.
The proposed health-care plans are indeed extremely complex and full of medical jargon. However, it would appear that at the core of the debate the arguments are segmented into three battles being fought on completely different fronts. Medical lingo set aside the following are some of the points of discourse in the health-care debate
The Battle of Politics: Democrats vs. Republicans
R1. There is no problem with the current health-care system as it is
R2. Economically passing the democrat’s health care bill will only further damage the economy and put the United States deeper into debt.
R3. The Democrat’s health-care reform bill will destroy more jobs
D1. Health-care reform is not only necessary but crucial to the future of the United States.
D2. The United States will benefit greatly from health-care reform as a government regulated public option system is the first step to bringing an end to the malicious practices of insurance companies and in turn facilitating the reincarnation of the economy.
D3. Health-care reform will directly influence the job market in a positive way as the first step to a healthy job market is a healthy job force.
The Battle of Humanity: Lower Class vs. Insurance Companies
L1. Insurance companies make it almost impossible to get health insurance with a preexisting condition.
L2. Insurance companies are in the position to suddenly stop coverage in the event a person becomes ill or is in need of medical treatment.
L3. The bureaucracy that is “Big” Health Insurance makes it nearly impossible for the lower class to understand what they are purchasing or what kind of coverage they might be entitled to by government mandate for the sole purpose of profit.
I1. All of the necessary information required to make decisions regarding health insurance is readily available
I2. Government regulation of Health Insurance companies is unconstitutional in out free market/capitalistic country.
Battle of Capitalism: Middle Class vs. Upper Class
M1. For those in the lower middle class bracket with no government assistance due to income limits health insurance is nearly impossible to afford.
M2. Without adequate opportunity to have access respectable health-care, the middle class, the backbone of the economy, can hardly be expected to be able to be productive citizens for the economy and in the work force.
M3. Many hardworking families are either financially crippled or flat out unable to seek medical care due to high costs of health care
U1. Health-care reform will require those who already have coverage to pay more for the same coverage with the added government benefits.
U2. Extra costs for added government benefits are unconstitutional masked taxation.
U3. Those with jobs already pay into the welfare state in formal taxes.
