A summary of how key elements of health care reform
impact the economy on a macro level is not included.
An explanation of how the government policy process
affected the way the chosen policy was developed,
implemented, and assessed is not included.
An explanation of how the chosen policy proposal may
impact three major stakeholders within the health care
system is not included.
Paper lacks any discernible overall purpose or organizing
claim.
Statement of purpose is not justified by the conclusion. The
conclusion does not support the claim made. Argument is
incoherent and uses noncredible sources.
Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede
communication of meaning. Inappropriate word choice or
sentence construction is used.
Template is not used appropriately or documentation format
is rarely followed correctly.
Sources are not documented.

choice are present. Sentence structure is correct but not
varied.
