Issue Category and Bill Title: Health Care, Is your Health Important?

Purpose: The purpose for our bill is to create a lower Health Care plan for more people so that more people can live a healthier life style no matter who they are. The lives of America are so important to us, and it would be honor to give a lower Health Care plan to the people who need it most.

Eligibility: Our bill is going to apply a cheaper Health Care plan for people like the poor, unemployed, and homeless.

Terms and Benefits: The first thing that we would love to do is to make a lower health care plan that is depending on your income a year. With lower Health Care plans such as the ones we would like to create we would be helping the 1,887,000 Homeless. The second thing we would love to do is tax more on such things as tobacco and alcohol products. If we can get more people to stop smoking then our children don't have to deal with second hand smoke. People will also not spend as much on cigarettes and alcohol then they can put there money to better use. Such as a better health care plan. If people stop smoking then they wont keep dieing off by the hundreds. The people wont get lung cancer and such diseases from tobacco. Alcohol is another huge problem we are having today. People also get caught drunk driving and getting into car accidents that can kill people that don't deserve that. Some people who drink don't think of the problems that they can get such as liver failure. Drinkers who get liver failure can't afford the surgery because they don't have any health care. They spend their money on the things that can kill them.
