Plagiarizing the government could be a form of flattery

We just can’t stomach any more opinion writers who steal government policies and regurgitate them as policy suggestions. Today’s example, is a piece by Alaa Ghanem for Al Shorouk that suggests a road map to implement the Universal Healthcare Act must not get bogged down due to the lack of a clear roadmap. Ghanem’s entire policy — from upgrading hospitals and the training doctors to developing an insurance scheme — barely differs from that of the government. We guess plagiarizing the government could be considered a form of flattery.
