Introduction Paragraph:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once remarked that “Of all forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane,” (Healthcare-Now! 3). For decades, health care has been a main topic in elections and a major concern for all Americans. Every attempt for the United States to enact a health care reform plan that would provide universal coverage has failed (Quadagmo 201). In a nation that spends sixteen percent of its wealth on medical care (Cohn 225), why can we not come up with a successful universal health care system? Health care needs to be treated as a right, not a privilege, and work needs to be done to provide affordable health care to all American citizens. This proposal seems simplistic, however throughout the history of our country there have been numerous failed attempts and only a few limited incomplete successes. We need to learn from the outcomes of these attempts, along with the successful systems working in other countries, in order to create a plan in which every American has access to health insurance.


*Please comment on what you believe I am planning on talking about in the body paragraphs of my paper, aka the map. I am unsure if this is clear enough. Also, does the beginning flow together connecting my grabber, background, and question, to my thesis and map?
