Review Chapter 1-3 of Knickman and Elbel (2019) and write a professional paper that addresses the following questions:
What is and what should be the role of the various levels of government (federal, state, and local) in the health care system?
Should the government play a key role in aiding the uninsured, or should market forces reign supreme?
How should government finance its efforts to aid the uninsured?
How much control should the government have over the private health insurance industry?
Reflect upon the topic. Analyze research findings and draw conclusions in your paper.
Provide evidence to support your opinions. Review the grading rubric for grading criterion. You will need an introduction and conclusion. Please use Level 1 APA headings to organize your thoughts/paper. This means to use the questions posed as Headings in your paper.
If appointments are available, schedule a consultation appointment with the Center for Writing Excellence to receive feedback on your writing/paper.
Upload your paper as an attachment in the Module 2 Assignment Dropbox for evaluation by Turnitin.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeContent relevance and Evidence
45 pts
Evidence used to support the central point is rich, detailed and well chosen. Evidence sections employ appropriate illustrations and/or quotations. The connection between argument and evidence is clearly and compellingly articulated in all cases. (Where applicable) Important opposing evidence (i.e. evidence that might seem to contradict your argument) is considered and convincingly refuted. Uses evidence appropriately and effectively, providing sufficient evidence and explanation to convince.
25 pts
Begins to offer reasons to support its points, perhaps using varied kinds of evidence. Begins to interpret the evidence and explain connections between evidence and main ideas. Its examples bear some relevance.
12 pts
Often uses generalizations to support its points. May use examples, but they may be obvious or not relevant. Often depends on unsupported opinion or personal experience, or assumes that evidence speaks for itself and needs no application to the point being discussed. Often has lapses in logic.
4 pts
Depends on cliches or overgeneralizations for support, or offers little evidence of any kind. May be personal narrative rather than essay, or summary rather than analysis.
0 pts
Uses irrelevant details or lacks supporting evidence entirely. May be unduly brief.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeIdeas well organized
35 pts
Uses a logical structure appropriate to paper’s subject, purpose, audience, thesis, and disciplinary field. Sophisticated transitional sentences often develop one idea from the previous one or identify their logical relations. It guides the reader through the chain of reasoning or progression of ideas. Exemplary introduction and conclusion
25 pts
Shows a logical progression of ideas and uses fairly sophisticated transitional devices; e.g., may move from least to more important idea. Some logical links may be faulty, but each paragraph clearly relates to paper’s central idea. Introduction and conclusion present but not organized.
12 pts
May list ideas or arrange them randomly rather than using any evident logical structure. May use transitions, but they are likely to be sequential (first, second, third) rather than logic-based. While each paragraph may relate to central idea, logic is not always clear. Paragraphs have topic sentences but may be overly general, and arrangement of sentences within paragraphs may lack coherence. Missing an introduction or conclusion.
0 pts
No appreciable organization; lacks transitions and coherence. No Introduction or conclusion
