Discussion Question:

The proponents of government-subsidized managed care in the U.S. want a plan that would be a single-payer universal health system managed by the federal government. Under such a system all Americans, young, old, poor, wealthy, working, or not working, would be covered under one plan; no Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Native American Health Service, private insurance, or HMOs would be included in the system. This one plan would pay for whatever healthcare a person needs. Many Americans oppose such a plan.

What do you think are the pros and cons of such a plan?
Would you want to be covered under such a plan?
Do you think you would be better or worse off with such a plan? Why?
Provide a reference to justify your assertions.

What did Jem, Scout, and Dill learn over the course of the story? Would you consider Atticus Finch a hero? Why or why not? In what way did Boo Radley defy stereotyped expectations? How likely is a repeat of the events of this novel in our modern social and legislative climate? Has a similar injustice happened in recent history? How may average citizens work to prevent further incidents of judicial injustice?

Introduction
