Read the paragraph.I have been a nurse for twenty years. In that time, I have seen a great number of patients suffer because they did not have health insurance. For example, I once saw a person who broke their hand in an accident. Because they could not afford treatment, they delayed coming to the hospital and developed a serious infection. By the time I saw them for the first time, the infection could be treated but there was a high risk of permanent disability. This sort of thing should not happen to anyone. A strong universal health care system could prevent instances like this from occurring.What makes this appeal from the paragraph convincing? For example, I once saw a person who broke their hand in an accident. Because they could not afford treatment, they delayed coming to the hospital and developed a serious infection.
