The discussion post authored by L.N. concerning health policy and its various influences was well-written and informative, providing a clear definition of the term while also providing tangible examples of health policies as they currently exist. By beginning the discussion with a scholarly reference to the definition of health policy constructed by Williams and Torrens in 2008, which classifies the term as a collection of targeted laws, entitlement benefits, regulatory practices, administrative edicts, and the various participatory conditions applied to patients, this post immediately establishes the focus of the subsequently presented information.

By referencing the cooperative dynamic which exists between publically accountable policymakers on the local, state and federal legislative level, and the private interest groups who employ legions of lobbyists to manipulate the health policy process, L.N. is successful in capturing the reader's interest through a direct appeal to their sense of fairness and logic – which is an especially effective rhetorical strategy.

However recently the situation is pointing to stagnancy in its growth as its Miller operations in America are not growing as expected by the management. Moreover the company is facing difficulties in developed country markets as these are already saturated. And at the same time it has not been able to make inroads into young markets such as China and India, markets which account for less than 10 percent of the portion of its revenues. (SABMiller Plc , 2011) The problem here is a combination of affect and environment, where beer consumers generally tend to have an affinity for the beer brand they are used to and do not like to change their brands. They are used to the taste, and associating that particular brand of beer to various life events tend to be loyal to the brand. Moreover, as SABMiller beers in new markets are priced at par with local brands, consumers don't even venture a trial and this is what is pulling the brand down to some extent. From the organization's perspective this problem is turning out to be that of consumer behavior and the environment where the recession has led people to curtail their consumption of luxury
