I firmly believe that this article is credible. The material is not biased, and it gives accurate facts, many citations and an extreme amount of evidence to support their claims. The web page seems to be credible as well, providing all of the necessary information for us readers.

Reflection

I would have to say that the U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective is more persuasive to me. It has an immense amount of facts about how the U.S. health care system is faulty and that we spend much more, on average than other countries in just about every aspect. I would have to say that my opinion has not changed. Our health care system needs to be fixed, especially to better benefit low-income families who cannot afford the high monthly costs and high deductibles. There are many employers who do not even offer coverage to their employee's, which can make it even worse for a family to afford coverage, even through the Affordable Care Act. I am honestly unsure of what could change my opinion on our healthcare system. I guess I would have to say, when action is taken to better it and make it affordable for everyone to be fully covered, and not just partially covered. No one should have to avoid going to see a doctor because they cannot afford it. Without our health, we have nothing.
