Democrat  This bill was made to make healthcare more affordable for all state residents. If this bill is passed, there will be waivers that people must apply for. This bill will help people with low income be able to afford healthcare for themselves and for their family. Also, people in the middle class will benefit from this. They will be able to save more money from day to day, and not have to worry about the rising costs of healthcare. This bill is intended to do all of the above, and just make life a little bit easier for Americans. In today's economic crisis, not many people will be able to afford healthcare much longer if the prices keep rising the way they are right now.

 * Summary of the Bill?**

**History of the Bill?** ** This bill, number 2351 from the house, was made for numerous reasons that involved many people of the United States. First, healthcare costs were getting so high, that people were not able to afford the proper healthcare. In return, the government felt the need to step in and help them out. Next, people were suffering from not being able to afford good doctors and not getting the right kind of treatment for their illness or problem. Also, healthcare savings accountants gave people control over their own healthcare dollars, resulting in the ability to spend more on themselves and their family. Plus, natural disasters caused many problems in the region of healthcare. After disasters, like hurricane Katrina, people could not get the proper care from doctors. This bill would make this issue and easier one to handle. If this bill is passed, people must just fill out an easy application, then they get a waiver for lower healthcare prices. Another problem with healthcare was the that people just moving into our country could not get healthcare when they needed it, and they also did not have the money to afford a good healthcare organization. Overall, this bill was made because it will help the majority of Americans deal with their day to day problems, and their problems in the future too. ** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(191, 27, 197);"> **

 * <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> This Bill will affect quite a lot of people in the nation. First, it will affect the people with low incomes and not a lot of money. It will also affect the people choosing to come to America, immigrants, because they might get sick while they are ajusting to a new place, so they will not have the money to pay for the care and medicines. Also, they may not have access to healthcare, no matter how badly they need it. And most importantly, this will affect the people in a national disaster. When they are hit by a hurricane, tsunami, or another disaster, they might not have healthcare to help with their family. Also, they might not be able to afford a new healthcare system. Finally, this bill would help everyday Americans. The bill will do so by making the cost of healthcare less of an issue, and getting healthcare more important to everyone. These are just a few examples of who this bill will affect if our it is turned into a law.
