Debate QuestionShould all Americans have the right, or be entitled, to health care? |
The stance you take on the question is up to you. However, you must take a stance. You can't say "it depends" and have a stance that doesn't really take a side.

You will need to be prepared to defend your stance though and make sure you are persuasive when answering. |
