My argument is provide workforce and dead rate decrease. Obviously, expect accidental death, the better healthcare, the lower mortality.
Below is some useful points for me: The people who have insurances dead rate lower than person who don’t have. In addition, when people need essential healthcare, the boarder coverage can help public more and save more life.
However, in America lots of people don’t have insurance, and according to the policy still make millions American loss insured. Then there are many evidences show that survival decrease because of lack health insurance.
Thus insurance is important, countries should provide their citizens healthcare insurance. |

Although there isn't published data, we don’t know whether outdated or long time later, information are very useful and relevant. Thus, we cannot evaluate it currency or not. In another hand, author is University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA. This mean author have professional knowledge with my easy tittle. So I think it not only reliable but also authority. Last but no least, it also an academic source and use academic conventions. |

How is the source relevant to your title? What are the useful points / arguments made in the text?
This article show that America healthcare system.
People who don’t have jobs or who are self-employed are very difficult to get health insurance, because people get that from employer. Differentiate other develop countries, not any American have healthcare.
The passage also give some examples to show how much people need to pay. When a person have seriously ill or injured, he will be sent to the ICU. Stay in there is really expensive 30,000 dollar per day.
Another useful point is this article mention how healthcare influence economic.social stability is base on government welfare. If everyone live and work in peace and contentment, society will become more powerful. Another view is if public concern about happen accidents, people need to save money for that. |
