The Negatives Of Health Care

Constructive Speech Outline- Negative
I. Introduction
A. My opponent has resolved that: The U.S. government should not require its citizens to have health insurance.
B. I, the negative, will prove (why the status quo needs to change): That the U.S. government should require its citizens to have health insurance.
C. Attention grabber (quote, statistic, brief narrative, etc.): As Dennis Kucinich, a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2004 and 2008 elections, said: “Everyone should have health insurance?

1. Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that covers the cost of an insured individual's medical and surgical expenses. Depending on the type of health insurance coverage, either the insured pays costs out-of-pocket and is then reimbursed, or the insurer makes payments directly to the provider.
2. In the USA, health insurance is commonly included in employer benefit packages and seen as an employment perk.
3. Even if you are usually in good health, you will need to use the health care system at some point in your life.

...es ought to be something you seize seriously. That is what condition insurance is all about — obscuring the expenses that come alongside stopping illness and staying healthy, and being ready for the worst that might happen.
3. The individual mandate is vital for concluding discrimination in health-insurance marketplaces, the key accomplishment of health-care reform. It won’t apply to the majority of Americans, who by now have the health insurance, and it will not force anybody to buy insurance if they couldn’t afford it, but removing the mandate will lead to a health-care reform that is less efficient.

B. End with an impactful concluding statement (pathos)
According to a quote that I found that sums up the heart of my speech, “You may not appreciate the presence of good health, but you will definitely regret the absence of good health, because health is happiness.”
