Affirmative Values:
Democracy-
Truly ensures the enfranchisment of everyone.
“A system of government by the whole population or all of the eligible members of a state.
Universal healthcare ensures and stregnthens the vibrancy of our democracy.
Anti-discrimination laws ensure participation, there should be laws keeping people of the nation functioning whether or not they are sick. This would ensure participation of everyone in the democracy.
Past has been difficult because of gender or race discrimination, but now democracy has become inclusive. The next step regardless of health status would be to facilitate healthcare in order to maintain a functioning democracy.
Supporting Putlic Welfare-
Preserves the longevity of a society, search New Deal (historic precedent)
Supporting- take portion saying “providing for common deffense” in preamble.
Welfare- health, happiness, and fortunes of a group.
Economic Prosperity-
Small business owners will not lose money by providing adequit healthcare. They will be able to continue to function in the business world.

Author: Stuart M. Butler, Ph.D.
Notes on Article:

While 81 percent of workers with insurance in firms of 5,000 or more employees had a choice of at least three plans in 2000, only 2 percent of covered workers in companies with fewer than 25 employees had a similar choice of at least three plans. Meanwhile, 95 percent of covered workers in the smaller companies had only one plan available to them.
“Medicare will consume 24 percent of income taxes by 2019, and 51 percent of income taxes by 2042.”
