        Proposition: Brand-name drugs are better than generic drugs.
        
        Opening Statement: As the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, I believe that brand-name drugs are the better choice for those looking to treat their medical issues. Brand-name drugs have been proven to be more effective, safer, and have more reliable results than generic drugs.
        
        Argument 1: Brand-name drugs have been extensively tested and evaluated in clinical trials. Because of this, they have been proven to be safe and effective. Generic drugs, on the other hand, are not always tested as thoroughly, and may not have the same level of safety and efficacy as brand-name drugs.
        
        Argument 2: Brand-name drugs are also more reliable because the formulation is consistent. Generic drugs, however, can vary in formulation from batch to batch, making them less reliable in terms of efficacy and safety.
        
        Closing Statement: In conclusion, brand-name drugs are the better choice when treating medical conditions. They have been extensively tested, are more reliable, and have been proven to be safe and effective.
  - - - Story
        
        The patient with diabetes, Dave, was a young adult who was struggling to manage his condition. He had been managing it on his own for a few years, but recently, his condition had worsened and he was in desperate need of medical care. He visited the doctor, who performed a number of tests and found that Dave was in need of insulin to control his blood sugar levels. Unfortunately, the cost of insulin had skyrocketed in recent years, and Dave was unable to afford the medication.
        
        The doctor was sympathetic to Dave's situation and contacted a local World Health Organization (WHO) official to see if anything could be done to help. The WHO official was well aware of the issue, as the cost of insulin had risen dramatically in recent years. The official explained that the rise in prices was due to a number of factors, including increased demand, production costs and new taxes on medical supplies.
        
        The WHO official was able to provide some assistance to Dave and his doctor by providing a voucher that would cover the cost of the insulin. With the help of the voucher, Dave was able to receive the insulin he needed to manage his condition.
        
        The story of Dave and his doctor is just one example of the challenges faced by many diabetes patients around the world

  - - - Why Healthcare is not a right
        
        Summary
        
        The article argues that while healthcare is a necessity of life, it is not a right. The author questions what it means for healthcare to be a right, and how society would pay for it, who would decide who receives healthcare, and how much, and who should make healthcare decisions for people. The article suggests that the best mechanism to provide access to healthcare is through a free market system, which offers the greatest access and control over costs. The author argues that people should be able to make their own healthcare decisions and use their own healthcare dollars, with safety-net health programs provided for those who can't afford it. The article concludes that healthcare is an economic activity, and society should work towards putting patients in charge of their healthcare, reducing the role of government, and focusing on access rather than healthcare as a supposed "right".
        
        Persuasive Devices used:
        
        Analogy: Comparing healthcare to food, shelter and clothing.
        
        Rhetorical Question: Asking if healthcare is a right and what it would mean if it was.
        
        Evidence: Citing examples from other countries with government-controlled healthcare systems.
        
        Opposing Viewpoint: Acknowledging the belief that healthcare should be a right.
        
        Pathos: Using emotionally charged language to appeal to the reader’s sense of fairness and justice.
        
        Logos: Making logical arguments and backing them up with evidence.
