The future health plan and your pocket book

The future of our economy may be in doubt when viewed from the prospective of the masses, however our healthcare future seems to have had a foundation poured during this crisis. At http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/nation/02/26/0226obama.html there is an article discussing the outline for the new taxes that will provide funding for a universal healthcare plan. 

The targeted audience of this particular piece is the middle class American this claim is based upon the fact that the writer looks favorably upon this controversial issue, also the fact that the author mentions the wealthiest 35 % in much of a distant fashion only i.e. as a number or corporation rather than a person with a specific name. 

The writers use quoted tax law and policy to assign credibility for the argument which is supported by purely logical number, percentages and facts, this supports bodes well for the position because it almost seems that this is a neutral article meaning that some one against healthcare reform could read it without offense or being driven from the page by overly strong connotations. The claim is straight forward and I can quote it directly from the article and is as follows "Everyone agrees that all Americans deserve access to affordable health care." This is obviously a band wagon appeal relying on popularity and is just placed at the end of the article so as not to run the reader off but to define a clear position and motive for the piece.

personally I identify with this article it presents the facts fairly and unbiased but it is not just a news flash, in fact it presents the facts in such a way that the reader can make a decision that is not heavily influence but does offer a mainstream opinion so one can feel the pulse of our nation in regards to the healthcare future.
