A Moment of Truth for Health Care Reform

      "A Moment of Truth for Health Care Reform" is an article from NY Times. This article is focused on making America a better place for everybody when it comes to health insurance. When I saw the title and read the article, I can say I am 100% for this to happen. I am in a situation where I don't have health insurance and if the Affordable Care Act is approved this will help thousands of people I'm sure. Lincoln Caplan and Philip M. Boffey are the gentlemen who wrote this article and I can say that I totally agree with them. On the other hand, there is more things that this article is about but I would like to focus on the  Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act is also known as "Obamacare", it was signed into law by Barack Obama of course in 2010. What this could do is help everybody have an insurance. 
   This reminds me of how France handles things; France provides everybody with health insurance. Only thing is because of everybody being provided with health insurance by the government; the government is in fact, in debt. I feel that Obama has the mind to figure out what can be done for everybody to be protected, and he will make it happen. If everything go as planned, and everything works out in his favor, our government will not be in debt like France.

Iran, Israel, and the US

While reading "Iran, Israel, and the United States" I'd have to say I disagree with the publisher. The publisher has an idea that "Iran's nuclear appetites are undeniable". When the publisher states that, he doesn't fully elaborate on the concept of "nuclear appetite". Who knows what this publisher means? If the publisher is referring to a nuclear bomb, nuclear medicine, or even nuclear powered generators, the publisher needs to state that and give evidence. I really can't state what the publisher is stating because of the lack of evidence and unclear statements. Does Iran wants to bomb? Does the prime minister of Israel think we should start war? The publisher isn't making anything clear to me. We don't know who this publisher is, we don't know if the publisher is in any type of department with a specialty of this subject. The publisher's audience is American and Israeli interest as stated. The publisher really didn't have a good argument, by the looks of it; the publisher wants war which is something else I disagree on. The publisher did a good thing by not stating the info of him/her. Overall, this has facts but to me the facts were most likely "googled". Also, by the looks of the comments posted by others; I'd say they would agree with me more than they agree with this publisher.
