Persuasive Essay Outline

Introductory Paragraph: Hook: In the United States, per capita health care spending is higher than in any other country, more than 37 million Americans do not have health insurance, and 41 million more do not have sufficient access to care (Galvani, et al., 2020).

Background and contextual information: A Universal healthcare plan, on the other hand, has the potential to improve the availability and effectiveness of American health services. It is typically structured around offering either health care or the means to access them to all residents or those who cannot afford their own with the overall aim of enhancing health outcomes. Some systems are government- funded, while others like America’s are based on a requirement that all citizens purchase private health insurance.

Thesis Sentence: Universal Healthcare funded by the government should be implemented in the United States of America because it would give health insurance to the many Americans that are currently uninsured, increase their preventive care, and eliminate the administrative and overall costs.

Transitional sentence: Many countries already have government-funded universal healthcare systems that work to provide millions in the world insurance and care, if America were to use a similar government-funded universal healthcare system it would provide healthcare that would be free at the point of the need and would be paid for by general taxation.

Supporting paragraph 2 (Subtopic 2)

Persuasive Topic Sentence (include position and align with the second subtopic): Universal Healthcare would increase America’s preventive care.

Detail A: Accessible, affordable healthcare can allow for earlier intervention to avoid or reduce the risk of non-communicable chronic diseases, enhance the overall U. public health and reduce the economic burden associated with an unhealthy low socioeconomic status (G. Zieff, et al., 2020).

Detail B: Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity are common in America. All of which are leading risk factors for death, if given an universal health plan likely more people would seek out preventative care for these alone. Lowering the death toll and prices.

Detail C: Given that a universal health plan will require the government to pay for costly care and treatment due to complications arising from preventable, non-communicable chronic diseases, the government would be more encouraged to provide primary chronic disease risk reduction prior to the disease and spread preventive measures (G, et al. 2020).

Transitional sentence: Chronic diseases already run berserk in America, with a healthcsystem that focused on preventive care, they would avoid the expense from easily preventable are diseases.

Supporting paragraph 3 (Subtopic 3)

Persuasive Topic Sentence (include position and align with third subtopic): Universal Healthcare helps eliminate administrative and overall costs.

Detail A: The US health-care system is the most expensive in the world (valued at US$3· trillion in 2016; 18% of national GDP vs 5–12% in Europe and Canada) (Jones & Kantajarian, 2019). Which is why America needs to think about revising the current system, because it clearly costs too much.

most of the civilized world already operating with universal healthcare plans, there is great need to revise the current plan in place. Americans die every day from easily preventable diseases, which wastes more money. Their safety could be guaranteed, and administrative pockets left fuller.

Final remarks: Greed and emotional reasoning appears to be the only thing holding the United States of America back from moving forward. There are many options for different healthcare plans out there that would work better than the current system, and even multiple kinds of Universal healthcare besides the one spoken in this paper.
