Health and Safety I think health and safety is an important issue because in North Dakota, there isn't that much people living here. A lot of people that do live here, have poor jobs because this isn't really a well economic developed state. People are more poor over here and can't afford the health insurance or their job doesn't cover it. If they are an American Citzen it should be a given. We pay taxes all over, every single American. That is why Health and Safety should be just a given. Without us, or anyone here, some other country could consume the government up, so we should be allowed to have Health and Safety be a given.
 * Three Isues that are Important to Me**

Immigration I think Immigration is an important issue because I think we should allow more immagrants in and have less of a wait for them to become citzens in the United States. They just want a better life, they don't want to do any harm and they probably won't come in illegally as much if we lat more in. In North Dakota, we need immagrants because we don'ty have that much people living in North Dakota. We already have a lot, but a lot of people have also left. we need more people to be able to keep being a state and so that some more people are able to pay taxes and not just the ones who currently live in North Dakota. They can pay the taxes and help states like North Dakota grow back into a better state. We should lend a hand to them =, and maybe when we do that, we will get help back if we ever need it.

Foreign policy Personally, I think we should try to help the other countries to the best of our ability. we want to have other countries bring us goods and things. We can also learn more about their culture and religon. If we help them, in return they might help us whenever we need it. I still think, though, we should try t stay out of wars between other countries. When they are at war, we shouldn't give them supplies like guns, but only the neccessities to live like food. I think this will best benefit our country because more immagrants may come, knowing how gracious we are, and that will give us a higher population and more people to pay taxes.That is what I think.

The reason why I think we should have this kind of Health Care is because right now the economy is in a rough spot. People are already losing their jobs and once that happens, they won't be able to afford health insurance. Making health care a little less on taxes for the people will make it much easier on them. thsi should help lower and middle classes. Yes, we would have to raise taxes on the upper class, but that is only depending if they actually work or not. If they work a resonable amount the we won't raise their taxes, but if they just inherit and don't work at all, then they should be given a higher tax. This will make vaccines cheaper, check ups cheaper, and more. We also might have to lower wages for doctors who don't need it and take equipment from other hospitals that don't need it, to those who do. That is why I think we should go through with the bill.
