9. When you post an edited version of an edited version of a post

Then quote the comments on the edited edited post as the "point" then no, it appears that you don't understand the actual article, and are relying on the comments on the edited version.

You do understand why citations are important to an article, right? And you did know that PNHP left those out, right?

I am familiar with PNHP, it is an advocacy group, and as such is not an unbiased health policy research organization (as the truncated Obama quote shows). Are you familiar with Health Affairs? And as such, the importance of references and citations?

So if they don't "always agree in totality" which parts of O'Shea's original Health Affairs blog do you find incorrect? Some people who don't know what they are truly reading will say, "It speaks for itself, don't ask me."

If you simply want to share a PNHP article that appears to support an opinion of yours, please state the opinion that it supports.
