Read this passage from a rhetorical text. (1) Among many serious problems currently afflicting the US healthcare system, the direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs may seem like a harmless practice. (2) Yet there are good reasons to be wary of allowing drug manufacturers to pitch their products directly to consumers. (3) In fact, the American Medical Association was so concerned about misinformation that it called for a ban on these ads. (4) Yet the ads continue today.

(6) The safety of American consumers is at stake.
