This article titled “Targeted health insurance in a low income country and its impact on
access and equity in access: Egypt's school health insurance” focuses on the challenges that various
government administrations go through to meet public demands, including healthcare with limited
resources. The article specifically focuses on health programs such as the School Health Insurance
Program (SHIP) in Egypt formed to improve healthcare equity and access for children in the
country (Yip & Berman, 2001). This material is the most reliable research source compared to the
other two because of several reasons. One is because the two authors have written several other
articles revolving around the same topic. The article is also published in the .gov domain extension,
which is considered one of the most reliable websites with credible information. The authors also
used verifiable sources like previously documented surveys, which prove that the information
given is accurate and precise. The topic was thoroughly researched with sufficient evidence to
support the author's claims hence the article fulfills the evaluation criteria for assessing credible
sources.
The article "Obtaining Health Care Services for Low-Income Children: A Hierarchy of
Needs" talks about how many families fail to access healthcare services due to the lack of health
insurance. The authors argue that many children are unable to receive quality health services
because their parents lack the financial ability to pay for these services (DeVoe et al,2008). The
authors explore different research materials to identify the many factors that hinder low-income
children from receiving the best healthcare services, including insurance coverage. This article is
the second most reliable resource since it satisfies certain conditions stipulated in the evaluation
criterion. For example, it was published by the United States National Library of Medicine, a
government source. The author's conclusion agrees with the findings of other researchers who have
written the same topic. For instance, the article identifies health insurance as the major hindrance
to children not receiving proper healthcare services. Similarly, other researchers argue that
although most American children receive quality healthcare, there exist several barriers like lack
of health insurance that contribute to some children lacking proper healthcare.
In the final article, the authors evaluate how insurance status affects the low-income
children access healthcare services. The various topics discussed in this article include children's
health, insurance coverage and benefits, the uninsured, and children's health insurance programs.
This article aims to compare the private health insurance that low-income children depend on
medicaid coverage in terms of fulfilling their health care needs (Dubay & Kenney, 2001). This
article is the least reliable although credible source compared to the other two because it meets
some evaluation condition. For example, it is published on an official website named health affairs.
Also, the writers depend on facts rather than personal opinions to present an argument, as well as
use, certifies statistics to support their claims. The authors also use credible sources in their
research from platforms like google scholar, which are credible research databases implying that
the information in this article is reliable.

Two punctuation styles are used in business letters: open and mixed.
Open punctuation means that no punctuation marks are used after the
salutation and the complimentary close. Open punctuation is considered
a time-saving style and is used with block letter style. Mixed punctuation
may be used with modified block letter style, in which case the salutation
and complimentary close are followed by punctuation marks. The proper
punctuation with this style is a comma after the complimentary close and
a colon (for business letters) or a comma (for personal letters) after the
salutation.

Letter Styles
Letter styles vary. Business letters are usually written on letterhead stationery
in block or modified block letter style. Personal letters include return
addresses instead of letterheads and may be written in block or modified
block letter style.
Block letter style aligns the return address, dateline, and closing at the
left margin. Paragraphs are not indented. It is easy to key but may look off-
balance. In modified block letter style, the dateline and closing begin at
the horizontal center of the page. Paragraphs begin at the left margin. This
style may be more difficult to key, but it looks more symmetrical on the
page. Figure 5.11 illustrates basic differences in block and modified block
letter style.
