Texas and The Health Care Reform Bill

The new Health Reform bill will be better for Texans? According to Katherine Haenschen who posted a blog on The Burnt Orange Report this bill will be better for Texans, because not only will we as Texans see improvements to the insurance policies we hold, but even the most at risk Texans will finally get the care they need. Katherine also goes on to say that Governor Rick Perry, does not support this bill, and that if he doesn’t, that we need a Governor who will. In my opinion not everyone is going to agree, so saying we need a new Governor to me is childish. Just because we have a Governor who doesn’t agree, doesn’t mean he won’t in the end do what people believe is to be right. In reading this I think Katherine is trying to attract the people who have little to no insurance, because it’s something people will read, and it’s also something to believe in. To keep any audience attracted, and reading what’s being written, is to provide nothing but hard solid facts, and don’t sell out, because once you do that to your audience then mayhem is likely to happen especially with something as important as this.

The basic argument to Katherine’s writing is that she’s telling us how good this bill will be while Governor Rick Perry, and Attorney General Greg Abbot are trying to prevent the people of Texas from receiving any part of this bill. Some assumptions that this argument relies on is that I think Katherine believes that The Governor, and Attorney General want to do away with all Texans having any insurance whatsoever.

In uncovering the evidence her argument is supported how Rick Perry and Greg Abbot, want to do away with this bill, again yes I believe they want to do away with this bill, but not do away with having another insurance plan, that can be beneficial to all Texans.

The future of the death penalty

In the Houston Chronicle, David R. Row made an argument on how the death penalty will probably soon fade away, because of how much money goes towards putting someone to death. This argument happened because, Row is trying to get the people of Texas to realize how much time, and money goes into putting someone to death, when we can put all those efforts to actually helping this state. To keep any audience attracted I Think David R. Row, should build upon this and bring out other facts as to what all could be done with the money. I agree with Rows argument to fund the money else where such as, more police officers, teachers, programs in prisons so that when people get released, they can have some sense of what’s going on, and how to do things. Some of the facts Row relies on is how much money we lose, and that by not using it for the death penalty we can make great benefit for it else where. I believe that this argument is directed to everyone in the state of Texas, because with our state in so much debt, we as people of Texas can do so much more with the money, than putting someone to death. David R. Row goes to mention that there have been 1,200 people put to death, and that equals up to 1.2 billion dollars, again just imagine all we could have done with 1.2 billion dollars. Also people here in Texas have agreed that we should focus on fixing schools, pot holes, and other things going on in Texas, than to waste it on putting someone to death. So him conducting surveys to see what the people of Texas think about this matter, is a plus. In my opinion is this that this argument is a successful one, and yes it does convince to support this argument. Before I was pro death penalty, but now as I read this and hear from other Law Officials, it’s just not worth it anymore to waste all that money.
