What to say:

health care spending is rising faster and faster. Also 47 million Americans are uninsured but we spend more than coutries who give health care to all there people. Americans are often offered two extremes- having the goverment run the health care with higher taxs or let the companies run it with no rules. This is why we propose a plan that will strenghten employer coverage and make insurance companies ensure patient pick who they want for a doctor and care without the government. We plan on to make insurance more affordable, accesiable heath care for every one and to use existing plans. We will promote public health care. We would require coverage of preventive services like cancer screenings and increase state and local preparendess for terriost and natural disasters. For this health care plan it will cost 50-65 million dollors for the health care plan.We prosose to pay for this plan by slighty increasing taxes on people who earn over $250,000. Specifically we propose an 3% increase.Therefore, someone making 250000 would pay about $7,500 more. hopefully later on health care will cost less for everyone. we hope the heath care of americans appoves. This will eventully lower healthcare cost for everyone.

Rebuttal:

I think we should lower prices on health care so that everyone can afforded it. Everyone should be insured with healthcare. Under the McCain plan, at least 20 million Americans will lose the insurance they rely on from their workplace. Everyone needs to be able to have health care if they get sick. And McCain wants to give a family $50,000 or $2500 for a single person to get there heath care so they have “more of a choice’ but what happens when people spend all of it or use it on something else
