Medicare Debate. The Medicare system is currently undergoing a dramatic shift, as the
number of people participating is increasing, which in turn has enormous consequences for
how it is funded. Some argue that Medicare spending is out of control and will result in a
collapse of the system if nothing changes, while others claim the system is doing well and is
meeting the needs of the millions of Americans who have no other health care. For this
discussion, you will participate in a debate with your classmates about Medicare.
Students whose last names start with the letters A-M will be on the “Maintain Medicare As-
Is” side. Students whose last names start with N-Z will be on the “Reform Medicare” side.
To start, you will need to craft your initial argument in support of the side you have been
assigned based on your last name (either maintain or reform). This post must be a minimum
of 300 words. Describe how the organization and delivery of Medicare and the social,
financial, legal, ethical, and regulatory forces impact your side of the debate. Remember,
your post must analyze how these factors work together to support your assigned view on
Medicare reform. Even if you do not personally agree with the side that has been assigned to
you, you must still present a convincing argument that upholds that side in your initial post
and your responses.
Then, you will respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts who were assigned the
opposite side of the debate. Each of your responses should analyze how the differing stances
on funding Medicare affect the cost, quality, access, and provision of services. Your
responses to your classmates should present a counter-argument, where as a supporter of your
assigned side, you give reasons for why you disagree with them based on pertinent
information. You are strongly encouraged to review this week’s recommended reading and to
research on your own to identify other sources to support your argument.
Your initial post must include:
1. A succinct thesis statement that demonstrates your stance on the topic.
2. A clear explanation for your rationale and examples to support your view.
3. A minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed sources. One of these sources may be from
the course Required and/or Recommended Resources, and at least one must be obtained
through the University Library.

Each response to a classmate must be unique and should include:
1. A succinct statement of your thesis regarding why you disagree with their stance on the
issue.
2. A clear response that explains your rationale for your opposing stance and examples to
support your view.
3. A minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed sources. One of these sources may be from
the coursew Required and/or Recommended Resources, and at least one must be obtained
through the University Library.
