Universal Healthcare

In Universal health care - the case in favor, the author, Eric LaRue, a NY Natural Health Examiner, carefully reviews the main points of contention between those who favor or oppose a universal health care system.  

He establishes social significance for each point he makes by systematically addressing the “who cares?” and “so what?” questions. In the 2nd paragraph, he mentions employment opportunities and flexibility and its benefits for the economy as a whole, a subject of concern for many in the current conjuncture. In the third paragraph, he addresses the issue of cost by showing how even an increase in taxes could be less than what Americans currently pay in premiums or income-deducted health coverage. Showing Americans how they can get a good value for their money is a good way to get their attention. Furthermore, he reminds voters that regarding concerns of government inefficiency and reduced care options, the power is in their hands. By using the 1st person “we”, he creates a connection with all US residents as a powerful entity that should see their interest as a nation in taking care of everyone equally, while urging them to trust and rely on the democratic process to overcome potential difficulties in implementing a system which is the norm elsewhere.
