    1. Beautiful. Minor quibble: “for which he had a prescription.”

    2. I admire the effort here, Shxrk, but not the result. As I read your sentence, employers are taking a medicine that prevents them from firing employees.

    Simplify when possible:
    Employers can’t fire employees who appropriately medicate their anxiety.

    3. Unique and very nice.

    4. Great approach. Sloppy execution. The construction is “should HAVE” regardless of how we pronounce “shoulda.”

    Simplify when possible: Coats should not HAVE been fired for treating his chronic pain.

    5. I love turning the negative “it is NOT fair” into the positive “It is unfair.” Solves the whole problem.

    6. Very nice.

    7. Very nice. Want to deploy the Robust Verbs approach? Get rid of as many “made nouns” constructions as you can.

    The Secret Service agents ACTED SWIFTLY to stop Omar Gonzalez from penetrating deep into the White House.

    8. Love the approach, but the execution creates confusion. Are they being asked to answer for HOW their response OCCURRED? Your sentence says they are.

    How about: “The Secret Service is being compelled to explain the breach, not their response.”

    9. Wordy but logically perfect.

    10. I don’t think so.
    Wielding a knife in the White House is not dissuasive. Try another approach?
