Brabantuo: “O thou art thief, where hast thou stowed my daughter?

Damned as thou art, thou hast enchanted her;

If she in chains ofmagic were not bound,

Whether a maid, so tender, fair, and happy,

So opposite to marriage that she shunned

The wealthy curled darlings ofour nation,

Would ever have, t’ incur a general mock

Run from her guardage to the sooty bosom

Of such a thing as thou—to fear, not to delight . .

That thou hast practiced on her with foul charms . . .” (Shakespeare 12).

Duke: “Your son-in-law is far more fair than black” (Shakespeare 23).

lago: “O, beware, my lord, ofjealousy?

It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock

The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss certain of his fate, loves not his wronger, . . . (Shakespeare 58).

(Additional questions on other side ofpage.)

Othello: “Be sure ofit, give me the ocular proof,

Or by the worth ofmine eternal soul,

Thou hadst been better have been born a dog

Than answer my waked wrath” . . . (Shakespeare 65).

VIDEO 1) John Stossel Free Market Medicine (Links to an external site.)

VIDEO 2) Sanders vs. Paul (Links to an external site.)

Watch the above videos. Once you have done this click on the above link “Health Care” and create a thread with at least two paragraphs containing the following:

1. Is there such a thing as “Free” health care? If government guarantees health care for everybody is this free? Use what you have learned thus far about economics to explain.
2. What does Kennedy suggest “insurance” is supposed to be used for? Do you agree? Should we have health insurance for physician visits and first aid or just catastrophic events.
3. What advantages would free markets in health care bring? what disadvantages might free markets create?
4. Presidential contenders Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Rand Paul are often perceived to represent the most extreme ends of the political spectrum in Washington. Based on their contentions, which individual do you believe makes the better argument? Would you favor completely free market health care with no government involvement? What about socialized medicine where all health care is provided by government? Where do you think the majority of Americans stand?
