TOPIC # 8: Health Care

Please consider the following potential leading questions

#1: The U. S. Supreme Court will soon pass judgment on whether the “individual mandate” requirement in President Obama’s Health Care initiative is constitutional. What are your views about this issue?

#2: If the “individual mandate” is declared unconstitutional, are there other workable and politically feasible means for providing adequate health care coverage for all Americans? 

#3: If you object to President Obama’s Health Care Initiative, what would you put in its place?

#4: The costs associated with health care continue to spiral. Are there workable and politically feasible means for reducing such costs? Can costs be contained without sacrificing the quality of or access to adequate health care services for all Americans?
