The author here argues how patient brokering has ruined the addiction treatment sector, regardless of this practice being quite new to many people. The author further explains the need to have the major treatment facilities in South Florida subjected to monthly inspections, besides offering the working procedure for patient brokering. Regardless of the myriad laws prohibiting patient brokering, this study confirms the huge existence of corrupt persons who have continued to obtain extra earnings to the detriment of those they are expected to assist in the first place. This study therefore offers an identical viewpoint to the proposed thesis statement (Stapleton, 2017).

In this article, the author (Knopf, 2015) conducted an interview with a Florida-based lead-generation specialist, Jason Brian, whose main job centers on aiding treatment centers in locating patients by use of internet; Brian runs a website on the same. He is able to earn from $215 and up to $1000 for a single call, for raw leads and for patients with health insurances respectively. While patient brokering has been considered unethical, the author here considers this a decent way of earning livelihood and helping those in need of identifying such patients and treatments. This study therefore offers a contrary viewpoint to the proposed thesis statement (Knopf, 2015).
