The passage below is the concluding paragraph from, "Tell Me Where It Hurts," by Heather Kovich published in Guernica's September online issue.
Does the author imply any action on the part of the reader? If yes, what?
"Doug’s story could be any of ours. He went to college, worked hard, and had a family. His illness, not the disability system, destroyed this life. But the system didn’t help him put it back together with the dignity or autonomy he would have liked. Because Social Security will eventually run out of money, it will be forced to change. When it does, it will be an opportunity to fix the holes, to coordinate agencies and better counsel beneficiaries so that they can use the skills they have, and the skills they can acquire to rebuild their lives."
