__My Bill: SB35__ My bill is about Health Care. Our goal is to provide as many people with health care as possible but make it more affordable. We are going to collect money through taxes the are going to start high, but gradually decrease every year. This will make it more affordable for families to have health care and hopefully get them out of debt. Having health care is very important and all americans should have it. If people get sick or hurt, but dont have health care then they wont be able to get the medical help they need to survive. Our health care plan, if passed, will help people get out of debt and save their lives.
