Stipulations:

1. This debate will not be restricted to juxtapositions of private and public health insurance. Arguments for health insurance, however, may be submitted.

2. Since the proposition over which we argue is normative, moral arguments may be submitted.

3. This debate will primarily focus on the economics of the issue.

Reason:

Wow, R1 showed every sign of being a top notch debate- most lucid, organized long form counter I've seen from Con (and I've seen a few). But then Pro fucks off with a quadruple forfeit, depriving us all.

Reason:

Pro forfeited the majority of the debate which is why I vote for Con. Only opening arguments were gave and no rebuttals which meant all Pro had arguments and nothing as in rebuttals to state why his the opponents side is incorrect.
