Question

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. i have been a nurse for twenty years. what makes this appeal from the paragraph convincing? it uses proven data as evidence. it shows the writer’s credibility. it reveals important statistics. it appeals to the reader’s emotions.
