Thank you for your help however I think you misunderstood me. In the sentence “Pediatric Residency Program” continued that the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family. The part in quotations is the title of the source and I left it in to show that I cited. However i wanted to know if it was ok if i wrote “Pediatric Residency Program” continued that the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family. When the source said free health insurance coverage for pediatrician and family. Would it be plagiarism or not?

Answer 1

Is your source a printed description of the program that is titled as such, or is it an article about the program that is titled as such? You should be clear about that. Just a title with no indication of what it is means nothing at all. Undoubtedly, a hospital that has such a program will provide health insurance for employees, in most cases. Like other employer-paid insurance programs, dependents may or may not be covered, in full or in part, by the employer. Sometimes the employee (in this case a resident physician) may pay all or part of dependent coverage out of her own pocket. It depends on the benefit package offered by the employee, be that a hospital, a bank, or any other employer. You need to be very specific about what program you refer to AND the source of the information about their employee benefit program. If I misunderstood, it's because you are not clear. Whatever you write, if you copy wording from your source, it's plagiarism, unless you use quotation marks and cite the source. If you put the information in your own words (still making the source of the information clear), it's not plagiarism.

Answer 2

I meant the benefit package offered by the employer, not employee. Typo. Sorry.

Answer 3

Sorry but I think the quotation marks are confusing you. What I want to know is if the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family is an acceptable way to write free health insurance for employee and family. In my paper I read what you said about citing but I think it seems close. Is it acceptable to write it that way and avoid plagiarism?

Answer 4

You're not making sense. If you copy the words from your source, it's plagiarism. If you write/tell the information in your own words, it is NOT plagiarism! How much plainer can we be? Please don't ask his again. We have explained several times about attribution of information.

bobpursley also told you that there is no such thing as FREE health insurance. Someone pays for it. The insured pays the premium, an employer may pay all or part of it. Somebody pays for it.
