 * SB-54:** Lower Taxes on Health Care
 * Sponsors:** AFejko D-MA HDougherty I-ND

The purpose of our bill is to lower taxes on health care and make sure that the health care taxes are being used properly by the hospitals. This will help lower taxes on health care.
 * Purpose:**

This bill is for everyone legally in the United States. This is going to affect hospitals, doctors, jobs, and the people living in the United States that are legally here.
 * Eligibility:**

The first step to fix this is to investigate hospitals. This is because the taxes we pay might be going to hospitals that don't need it. They use this money to pay doctors higher wages and to get technology that is unneeded. If they really need any updated technology, the government should give that to them. Also, if the doctors need higher wages, if some are going poor due to paying for home and family, or some other reasonable excuse, the government will give them a little more money to do so.
 * Terms and Benefits:**

The second step would be to stop these unnecessary charges. Some doctors just walk in and are already paid and they haven't even done anything yet. So, we should lower wages depending on weather or not the doctors really need the wage they are getting. If not their wages will be lowered. This will cut the costs of visits to the doctor. In the end, this will decrease the cost of health care.

The third step would be to raise taxes for people who are paid $200,000 a year and depending on their family issues. They will pay depending on hours they work and how hard they work. I f they just inherit all this money they should pay higher taxes. This should help lower and middle classes be able to afford health insurance and whatever it is that they need health wise.

The bill is going to use the technology that the other hospitals don't need. The money that the other hospitals don't need will be put towards hospitals that do need the technology and that do need the money because they might be poor hospitals. Uses would be vaccines, technology, surgeries, cancers and chemo-therapies, x-rays, and mostly the major problems someone can have.

We also are going to have to cut into the government funding, which is going to bring the cost up a little. The cost currently is $4.7 trillion; most likely it is going to bring the costs up to $5 trillion. The reason why we need to cut into the government fund is just to bring new technology to the hospitals that need it, but it won't be extremely too much higher because the hospitals that don't need the money they have or the equipment they have will go to hospitals that do need it.
