Blog Stage Four

On Thursday, March. 22, 2012, The Burntorange report Blog Posted an article about how health insurance care should cover all issues including pre-existing conditions. And that no loopholes to try and get out of this essential care should be tolerated. The article focuses on a video about Jackson, an 1 and a half year old boy who was denied coverage for ear infection, due to a claim of pre-existing conditons.

The intended audience are those of us that have health care and are concerned with the fact that you might also be denied because of a pre-existing condition or some other bs that they might make up through a loophole. The author does not really show his credibility. So for the most part we can not believe him but then again the author does not really say much he let the video do the talking, and we can not normally trust a youtube video but this one was posted by the Obama channel so it is legit maybe. I do not see his argument as being the video I see that as a support to his argument so in the definition I think the author does a poor job at arguing his claim that is no loopholes and health insurance should cover all issues. Apart from just the video he does give us some factual information about a health care act that affects this. But the main reason I think his argument was poor was because he does not elaborate on the video or the information he does not interact with any of this, the author only presents it to us. The evidence is the video and it does a very good job at using emotional appeal and the only logical appeal is from the doctor's letter. I agree with his argument but I still think it apart from the video is a weak one. The logic of this is something that many of us will agree with because it is something that benefits us a lot and it just seams fair for insurance companies to cover at least that much. So I think the conclusion is valid and the video does a very good job at using an emotional appeal to get this point thru but the author him self does not elaborate enough to actually say it was good, and convincing.
