This is an op-ed piece about how awful our health care system is. It highlights two tragic stories about women who died because they did not have health care. This article then links the stories to the presidential race because Hillary Clinton used these stories to " put a human face on the cruelty and injustice of the American health care system." While this article is clearly biased, it does provide some accurate insight into the horrors of our health care system. This article also shows how caught up or country is in seeing their favorite candidate picked for president. We often forget that the whole presidential race is about making changes for the better of our country; no matter who makes the changes in the end.
I think that this article is really interesting and clearly illustrates the problems that our health care system is facing. Although the article is biased, the author stuck to the facts and let us know when he was sharing his opinion.
