Constructive Speech Outline - NegativeI. IntroductionA. My opponent has decided that: The United States government should not require its citizens to have health insurance.B. I, the negative, will demonstrate (why the status quo must change): that the United States government should require its citizens to have health insurance.C. Attention-grabber (quote, statistic, short story, etc.): As Dennis Kucinich, Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives and candidate for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States in the 2004 and 2008 elections, said: “Should everyone have health insurance? I say everyone should have healthcare. I don't sell insurance.”D. Background or history on the topic (must have three pieces of history: What do you want the audience to know? What information will support your argument?)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, the insured pays the expenses out of pocket and is then reimbursed or the insurer makes payments directly to the provider.2. In the United States, health insurance is commonly included in employer benefits packages and viewed as an employment benefit.3. Even if you are usually in good health, at some point in your life you will have to rely on the healthcare system. You never know when an accident might happen or when a family member will get sick and need to see a doctor. Health insurance offers you a convenient way to get medical care when you need it.E. Choose one of the following:• I accept the definitions provided by the affirmative.• I would like to redefine the following terms:1. Government: Politics... middle of paper... should be something to be taken seriously. This is the purpose of health insurance: to hide the expenses that come with stopping disease and maintaining health, and to be prepared for the worst that could happen. The individual mandate is vital to ending discrimination in health insurance markets, the key outcome of health care reform. It won't apply to the majority of Americans, who now have health insurance, and it won't force anyone to buy insurance if they can't afford it, but removing the mandate will lead to health care reform that is less efficient.B. Conclude with a high-impact closing statement (pathos). According to a quote I found that sums up the heart of my speech, "You may not appreciate the presence of good health, but you will surely regret the absence of good health, because health is happiness.”
