Stage 4: Critique an editorial or commentary from a Texas blog

On March 10th, 2017 the author, Larry Elder posted an opinion title "Obamacare can't be 'fixed’" on Texas Insider blog. Republican argued that Obamacare must not just be repealed but “replaced”. Larry targeted Republican people, Doctors, and citizens who get benefits from some features of Obamacare; that insurance carriers must allow parents to keep their “children” under their insurance plans until age of 26; and that insurance companies cannot drop people under any circumstances because Trump’s replacing plan included those the most popular features of Obamacare. He claimed that number of doctors are decreasing because of tighten regulations but an aging population, people need more doctors. He showed strong evidence by a quote of Mark Perry, a professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan and an American Enterprise Institute scholar, about decreasing numbers of doctor per 100,000 Americans. He also mentioned that some problems of tighten regulation. Lastly, he exclaimed that yet when it came to nearly one-seventh of our economy — health care — we ignored our own advice. For health care, we don’t write ourselves the proper prescription. I do not agree with his opinion about loosening regulations even though it prevented would-be doctors from entering the field because I think quality over quantity so doctors must be a profession who fully learned and completely licensed because it directly related to patients’ life. I think if less-schooled and less-credentialed paraprofessionals will do things that only licensed doctors can now do, mistakes and errors on patients’ can increase.
