What Does David's Writing Say?

For this next assignment I found two political columns: one to agree with and the other to disagree with.

To be specific, I decided to stick with only one Op-ed Columnist Writer, David Brooks, who just happens to write for the New York Times.

His first piece, The Lawyers Who Did Not Break, tells a compelling story about lawyers like Robert Khuzami. While being born into a bohemian family, he finish college from Boston University law school.

Khuzami served in several intense investigations, named head of enforcement at the Securities and Exchange Commission, and now apart of a team to take on the president of the United States.

People word him as intimidating but likable.

Because people have lost their morals, I agree to David's writing piece about Khuzami. He clings to the old standard of right and wrong: the Constitution and rules of the law.

Politically I don't read around and try to search for loopholes.

I believe what is written is written.

Khuzami is a part of a team where no loop holes is a must. There are teams like that spread anonymously throughout the U.S. government.

Personally, I feel we need more people like him as he is highly qualified with his experience and his outlook on rulings as nowadays the rules are bent.

His next piece, Medicare for All, I find myself disagree too.

He starts off by saying single-payer health care, or in our case “Medicare for all,” is worth taking seriously.

Then says we’d take the money we’re spending on private health insurance and private health care, and shift it over to the federal government through higher taxes in some sort of form.

"Since health care would be a public monopoly, the government could set prices and force health care providers to accept current Medicare payment rates."

However, I disagree to this piece for three reasons: many people I know think paying for health care is wasteful because they don't use it, you can't force insurance companies to lower their prices because they are paying your bills, and Medicare already has a bad rap when it comes to american tax dollars already spent for that program.

Therefore, they can do whatever their hearts desires.
