Question

This final assignment is designed to involve all of the main skills that you have learned during this course. In particular, your paper should demonstrate the ability to construct a deductively valid or inductively strong argument, clearly and accurately explain your reasoning, use high-quality academic sources to support the premises of your argument, fairly and honestly evaluate contrary arguments and objections, and identify fallacies and biases that occur within the arguments or objections presented.

You will continue to build on the arguments that you are presented in your previous two papers. In particular,, you will present a final improved version of your argument for your thesis that you begin for the Week One Assignment and fully address the objection that you developed for your Week Three Assignment. You will need to research a minimum of three scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library. (For further information about discovering and including scholarly research, take a look at the FindIt@AU Tutorial instructional resource.)

Write:in your paper

Explain the topic you are addressing and your position on it. Provide a preview of your paper and a statement of your thesis in your opening paragraph. [Approximately 100 words]
- For help crafting a good thesis statement, go to the Ashford Writing Center.
Present your main argument for your thesis in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line. Clearly indicate whether your argument is intended to be inductive or deductive. Follow up the presentation of your argument by clarifying the meaning of any premises that could use some explanation. [About 150 words]
- If your argument is deductive, then it shouldbevalid(in the strict logical sense of the word); if it is inductive, then it should bestrong. Make sure to avoid committing logical fallacies within your argument (e.g., begging the question). Additionally, the premises should be true, to the best of your knowledge. If one of your premises has a pretty obvious counter-example, then you should either fix the argument so that it does not have this flaw, or later, in your paper (steps three through five) you should address the apparent counter-example (showing that it does not really refute the truth of your premise). Arguments that are not valid, not very strong, commit fallacies, or that have counter-examples that are not adequately addressed will not receive full credit.
Provide supporting evidence for the premises of your argument. [Approximately 350 words]
- Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources, supporting arguments (arguments whose conclusions are premises of the main argument), or other ways of demonstrating the truth of those premises. This section should include at least one scholarly research source.
Explain a strong objectionto your argument. [Approximately 250 words]
- Study what people on the other side of this question think about your reasoning and present the best possible objection that someone could have to your argument. Do not commit the straw man fallacyhere. Reference at least one scholarlyresearch source. See the “Practicing Effective Criticism” section of Chapter 9 of the course text for more information.
Defend your argument against the objection. [Approximately 200 words]
- Once you have presented the objection, indicate clearly how you might respond to it. It is acceptable to admit that reasonable people might disagree with you or that there might be an area in which your argument could be further strengthened, but you should do your best to explain why your argument is sound or cogent despite the objections.
Provide an appropriate conclusion. [Approximately 75 words]
- For guidance about how to develop a conclusion see the Introductions and Conclusionresource from the Ashford Writing Center.

Free Access to Health Care: The Context of Universal Health Care & the United States 
Overview 
Access to basic health care should be deemed as a fundamental right. If access to basic 
education can be free and legitimate, then free access to life-saving services and care systems 
should be deemed more justified and more rudimentary a need. Without health no wealth can be 
accumulated, and as on the quality of health of the populace the prosperity and enhancement of a 
country’s economic and social condition is reliant, the government must, adhering to the policy 
of universal health care, should formulate and enact policies that would make access to health 
care free for every citizen. The United States is always consider as the epitome of equality and 
freedom, but the apathy on the part of its administration to provide scopes and opportunities to 
the majority of its populace to access basic health care services, has put the global identity of the 
nation at stake. It is high time that the government of the United States must realize that making 
universal health care available to each and every citizen is not only a welfare means but also a 
universal responsibility embodying the accountability of a government towards its citizenry.  
Argument 
Many of the democracies have chosen to adhere to the principle of universal healthcare. 
In Europe, countries like the United Kingdom and France have provided universal health care 
access to their citizens. 
In Asia, countries like India and Sri Lanka have provided universal health care to their citizens. 
FREE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE  3
Therefore, considering the fact that the United States is also a democratic nation willing to serve 
its people in a wholesome manner, it is imperative for the administration of the country to 
provide a truly universal health care system to its citizens.  
The aforesaid argument is deliberately shaped into an inductive form so that more 
evidence and strength can be added to the claim that, if in the United States, irrespective of the 
economic status, everyone can gain access to a universal education system then considering the 
importance of human health and its maintenance, the country’s government, adhering to the 
policies followed by majority of the world’s democracies, should provide its populace with free 
access to primary health care as a part of a truly universal health care system.  
Supporting Evidence from the Premises 
To support the claim, reference to the health care system of the mentioned democracies 
should be made. In the United Kingdom, for instance, health service is truly universal 
representing the democratic ideologies of the country. In this respect it must be said that,
