Healthcare costs in the United States are on
the rise. Some people say that a universal
healthcare system would bring costs down
and increase access to care. Others say it
would be too expensive and would reduce the
quality of care. Examine editorials from both
sides of the argument. Then write a five-
paragraph essay in which you compare and
contrast each argument in terms of
objectivity and the types of evidence
presented. Evaluate and explain how the
sources use effective evidence to support
their claims.
