The essay about the health care system is, in my opinion, very persuasive. It begins with a personal example of a man who injured his back, but has no insurance coverage to heal it. This is a good appeal to pathos. This is a good way of opening the essay, although it isnt nessecarily 100% clear what the essay is about at first- but that is quickly explained. The essay then goes to explain why we have a health care problem and what is causing it. There is a shift to the second person, which bothered me at first (because I don't like to read first or second person in formal writing unless nessecary), but then i realized that he was using a very powerful persuasive tool- making a connection with the reader. However, I believe the most effective part of the essay was his suggestion of how to improve the health care system. Because of this, the reader is not left at a dead end, but instead left with ideas and a motivation for change.
in all, i believe this essay is very powerful, and also interesting.
