This bill's purpose is to make as many possible people to have this same healthcare plan.

People without this healthcare plan are in luck because they can now afford a more affordable healthcare plan.

 * History of the Bill:** Health Coverage, Affordability, Responsibility, and Equity Act of 2007 or the HealthCARE Act of 2007 - Permits a state to apply to the Secretary of Health and Human Services for waivers of such provisions of law as may be necessary for the state to implement policies that make comprehensive, affordable health coverage available for all state residents.

And this is where Bill 2351 comes into play. It can provide these people with cheaper and more affordable healthcare. These people will now be able to afford it.


 * Why it is important:** This bill plays an important roll in society because now more and more people are feeling the affects of the current healthcare plan and we really need a new one. As been said many times before, this bill will help people who cannot afford it. It is a very simple bill and it expands the number of families and individuals with a health care insurance coverage.
