Issue: Medicare Bill title: Medicare Funds SB52

Purpose: The purpose of this bill Medicare Funds (SB52) is to ensure that ALL Americans, who can afford it and are over 65 years of age has health care insurance.We hope that they all get insurance by, when they are 55 years of age they start saving and putting in however much money they want. What our bill is trying to accomplish is, that Americans who need it and can afford it have health insurance there.

Eligibilty: All Americans are included in the bill men and women no matter the race. They have to be citizens of the United States and over 65 years.

Terms and Benifit: The terms of our bill are. Men and women over 65 get health care, if you know you cannot afford medicare at 65, then you can save up untill you are 65 and are able to get health care.

The benefits to the Medicare funds bill are, this will help the gorvernment gain more money for other uses like, the enviornment, army, and small buisnesses. Another benefit to this bill is, that eventually everyone will have some sort of health insurance. By the time they are 65 the citizens will have enough money to be able to afford medicare. Next, when Americans need help it will be there for them not matter whom or what has happened. Finally, there will be no discrimination for who gets medicare. African American, Men/women, Hispanics etc. will get health insurance.

 Cost: The cost for medicare per person in one month depends on your credit, for example with 30 to 39 Social Security or civil service work credits, you'd pay $233 a month. Basically, each person in one month will pay an annual tax of $233. Since you can save up for 10 years before you are 65 years of age, then this price will be easy to acheive.
