K-ish 1ac Iowa Caucus DoublesTournament: Iowa Caucus | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Saint Paul Central BN | Judge: Christensen, Lind, Peck Immediate cost savings are key – Medicare will be exhausted by 2017 The plan slashes Medicare costs in half for each patient and 22 on the whole Plan: The United States federal government should develop a Medicare insurance program with the Mexican Ministry of Health for American citizens living in Mexico. The advantage is Aging – SCENARIO ONE IS QUALITY OF LIFE – The people that the affirmative serves are everyday people who are suffering and struggling to get by. One anonymous American living in Mexico explains the struggles of life without Medicare access. The elderly who most need medical attention are denied, made to suffer through unnecessary pain despite that Medicare could fix, despite the fact that they spent their WHOLE LIVES paying into Medicare. Some level of U.S. health care in Mexico is inevitable, but the status quo is dominated by private multinational corporations (MNCs) because of lack of access to Medicare. MNCs swoop in, penetrate local markets, devastate locals, manipulate governments via lobbying and flee after gutting local institutions The people most directly affected by the plan are elderly Americans living in poverty, forced to deplete the last of their life savings just to pay the ridiculously high price of U.S. health care. SCENARIO TWO IS COST – Reject their defense to the social costs of an aging population for two reasons a. It’s short-sighted – baby boomers are a looming demographic tsunami – Medicare expenses will exceed the entire federal budget b. NOTHING in the lit base assumes the aging crisis – it causes offshore balancing and global crises Two impacts – One – Transnational Crisis – aging crisis crushes international institutions and guarantees conflict escalation Shifting away from those institutions causes American exceptionalism and creates several scenarios for extinction Two – Conflict Escalation – there are no “turns” because the U.S. will always try to retain primacy using Air and Sea power, but offshore balancing is uniquely dangerous We control speed and size – offshore balancing triggers conflict by crushing the perception of security with other great powers Even if heg causes small conflicts, robust empirics prove they don’t escalate, but would escalate rapidly in a world of balancing This is statistically proven Hegemony solves and turns their impact – it halts violence while stopping oppression – data and empirics prove The most robust and comparative data sets support our thesis for how violence occurs and how to halt it | 10/28/13 |
Medicare to Mexico 1acTournament: New Trier | Round: 1 | Opponent: Niles West HG | Judge: Campbell, Melanie 1AC – Economic Primacy Advantage 1 is Economic Primacy – It’s try or die for U.S. economic crisis – the plan utilizes a narrow demographic window to produce high rates of economic growth As the baby boom generation begins to hit retirement age, the U.S Three internal links – Mexico and the United States are no longer distant neighbors whose ¶ economies are engaged b. Geographic proximity – only Mexico can utilize it – that’s key With studies focused at the regional level, some analysts have argued that ¶ U c. Comparative advantage – Mexico builds regional success The long tradition of economic cooperation between the United States and Mexico, exemplified in Our impact exists on a scale – declining U.S. economic primacy creates a widening gap which increases the risk of arms races, miscalc and great power war Today, economic and fiscal trends pose the most severe long-term threat to Krugman is wrong and we control uniqueness – economic primacy is plummeting in the status quo – empirics and risk prove As we argue in our book “Innovation Economics: the Race for Global Advantage Advantage 2 is Aging Crisis – Americans can’t access Medicare overseas – there’s a limited timeframe – baby boomer retirements mean demand will triple in less than two decades The U.S. Social Security Medicare Program does not cover health services outside Reject their defense for two reasons – Like the other great powers, the United States is an aging society. Consequently Fourth, although the United States is in better demographic shape than the other great The effects of aging in the great powers are not all positive for U. Shifting away from those institutions creates several scenarios for extinction The neoconservative movement thrilled to what it called the "unipolar moment." After the Effective international institutions solve disease spread- also puts a cap of warfare TWO decades of post-Cold War liberal triumph, U.S. foreign A flu pandemic is the most dangerous threat the United States faces today," says Two – Conflict Escalation – there are no “turns” because the U.S. will always try to retain primacy, but offshore balancing is uniquely dangerous There is no viable alternative grand strategy for the United States than primacy. Primacy We control speed and size – offshore balancing triggers conflict by crushing the perception of security with other great powers It is our contention that a strategy of hegemony is preferable to one of offshore We control timeframe – aging crisis is coming now and will be full-blown by 2017 – the plan stops it Medicare is facing very severe financial difficulties—worse than the more publicized financial woes Internal Link Framing – the length of delay directly correlates to the risk of the aging crisis The world is entering an unprecedented demographic era. Never before has social aging been The plan slashes Medicare costs in half for each patient and 22 on the whole The rising cost of health care in the United States is forcing an increasing number 1AC – Solvency Next is Solvency – A second policy option would be for Medicare to develop a traditional indemnity insurance plan Even modest success is contagious – the plan builds close government-to-government cooperation, solves the Mexican economy and saves Medicare Ultimately, extending Medicare to eligible beneficiaries in Mexico could be a mutually beneficial endeavor We control link uniqueness – economic engagement in tons of other areas is inevitable In Mexico, the Peña Nieto administration is pursuing a broad reform agenda ¶ with We also control uniqueness for solvency – demand and savings are inelastic because of large-scale demographic trends With the looming economic pressures on America’s baby boom generation brought on by rising healthcare There’s no risk of a turn on competitiveness – China’s only economic risk is overheating, not collapse JEFFREY BROWN: Next: trying to make sense of China's economy.¶ A top The status quo triggers their DAs but doesn’t solve the Aff – rhetoric trumpeting economic engagement is inevitable, but follow-up is key The United States and Mexico share many similar interests and concerns. We are also | 10/11/13 |
Mexico Economy AdvantageTournament: St Marks | Round: 5 | Opponent: Westminster HL | Judge: Lanning, Eric The Aff is vital to growth – 5 reasons – 2 – Health care – Mexican health care is going to collapse now – the plan saves it – it also boosts capital investment and jobs 3 – Reverse causal evidence that the plan solves the Mexican economy by contributing upwards of $6 billion annually 4 – Medical tourism – Mexico is lagging behind in this key sector now – the plan independently boosts jobs 5 – Real estate – Mexico has the capacity for massive growth, but not the demand – a new influx of U.S. retirees is key Defense doesn’t disprove the utility of the Aff – even modest assessments show that Medicare to Mexico would generate a billion dollars annually in direct revenue to Mexico Mexican collapse saps critical diplomatic operating room Asian wars would immediately break-out – only the U.S. can broker lasting diplomatic solutions Asian wars outweigh – they cause extinction because of the number of hostile states with nuclear weapons, propensity for escalation and presence of major superpowers | 10/19/13 |
Pilot Program Plan--SolvencyTournament: St Marks | Round: 5 | Opponent: Westminster HL | Judge: Lanning, Eric A pilot program solves and Mexico says yes Successful demo spills over and solves each internal link Put away your T file – the plan is still a substantial policy layout – defer to specificity Pilot program solves politics and implementation DAs Even modest success is contagious – the plan builds close government-to-government cooperation, solves the Mexican economy and saves Medicare We control link UQ – economic engagement in tons of other areas is inevitable ( _ ) US-Mexico engagement inevitable, but the Aff is still key – first ever high level dialogue on a range of issues highlights ramped up, high level engagement – trade quadrupled in lieu of the TPP | 10/19/13 |
