I want to first share my respect for you as a fellow witter and student, and apologize if any thing written offends or angers you. My comments are not those of a professional, nor written to bash your ideas or thoughts on the subject.
I really enjoyed reading your blog and in my opinion it was very well written. The main topic of your blog(health care reform) was very clear (and I love that you voiced your prospective on the bill.The strongest sentence was "I DO NOT feel that it is right in ANY way to force the American citizen,(Texans in our case)to have to pay for it or face severe penalty otherwise." However, as Kris says smart people can disagree.
Use Pros and Cons. I notice that you only state negative costly examples such as "barley making ends meet...struggle from month to month" for the health care reform. By stating both sides of your topic (pros/cons)you make a stronger argument.By listing pros and cons the writer is allowed to morally weigh the situation or problem.The next paragraph will have an example for supporting t he bill.
Yes, the bill will cost us Americans(con) but it probably wont be much more than we already pay.(pro)Prime example; Currently, if you call the ambulance and you have insurance you pay $900 for the ride to the hospital, if someone who doesn't have insurance calls the ambulance you will still pay that $900 that the hospital writes off in tax dollars.See how something so small can have a huge effect on an argument.Think of your readers as judges wanting to hear both sides of the story.
Is the cost of the bill the only thing that you are against? In your blog all your statements toward the bill concern money and budgeting. Although your argument about money was strong I would give more detailed objections.You are trying to convince an audience (your readers) to share your view. If I were trying to find out where i stood on this subject matter just one objection wouldn't convince me to see things your way.
Use topic sentences. A topic sentence just summarizes your paragraph in the first sentence. This makes reading a piece of work easier and understandable.Although your blog is short you could stick a couple in there.
Again, I really enjoyed reading your blog.
