Plagiarism
The health care career paper is to be the students original work. Plagiarism is the improper borrowing of another person’s words, ideas, or methods. If you use another person’s material, you must acknowledge your source. When you cite a source properly, you have given credit where it is due, and you have also given your readers a way to locate the original material on their own. But, there is more than that to plagiarism. Copying material directly without placing it between quotation marks, even if you provide the source, is an act of plagiarism.

Please answer the following:

A.    Please reflect upon this dilemma: How should this country address the problem of the approximately 47 million uninsured or underinsured Americans?
B.    What is society’s obligation to ensure access to a basic level of health care for all its citizens and how can it be accomplished?
C.    Should health care be a basic individual right just as is education, police protection, and legal counsel? Why does the United States consider health care an open market commodity when all other developed countries guarantee their citizens some basic level of health care?
