Homework Assignment:

The health care act is a major issue right now. Health care is important for people because
everyone cant afford to buy the medicine they need. This has become an issue because it has
been taken away from some induvial because they dont qualify or the state perceives that they
are making enough money to go without social welfare or aid. I believe that some people can
abuse social welfare and for those people that misuse what they are given it makes it hard for the
people who really need help from the state receive help.
