For this assignment I would like you to read the following two pieces arguing for and against free healthcare for all Americans and, then, answer the questions.

Investors' Business Daily 2018 Editorial: "'Medicare For All' Would Cost $32.6 Trillion, And That's Not Even The Worst Of It" Links to an external site.

 

Please answer the following questions below about these two pieces

Note 1: No specific word count is required. However, your post will be worth ten points.  

Note 2: For some of these prompts below, you may want to think about the different audiences for the Sanders' piece and the Investors' Business Daily, a liberal New York Times audience and more conservative business-minded audience.
