The resolution for this debate is “Be It Resolved: Healthcare markets are not unique and do not require extra government intervention in order to function." This resolution is constructed to address 50 years of economic debate on the proper role of markets in healthcare, stemming from Kenneth Arrow’s seminal article “Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care” in which he stated the “laissez-faire solution for medicine is intolerable." We have two debaters who will in general uphold the resolution, and two debaters who in general disagree.
