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

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

I won't have access to a computer in time, so I'm not going to be able to forfeit the final round manually unfortunately. Thanks for understanding.

I understand. If you wish to continue with the debate we can start with Round 2. If time doesn't allow then submit your post stating, "I concede." I believe that will end the debate quicker.

I'm sorry, I had a couple of hours set aside. I'm generally quite busy with coursework and whatnot so I don't have an incredible amount of time to write long arguments. I went out to buy a pizza and broke my foot and couldn't write a satisfactory opening round in time.
