BHAYES

BHAYES-democrat Congressmen: I am most similar to [|John Barrow], who is a member of the senate. This is how i stand on issues:


 * //__Education__//**, i feel that education should be the second priority because if people are well educated they will be better off in finding a job, inventing new things, and helping the government. Education is a thing that the U.S. has been putting off more and more, until every country in the world has passed us, and we have to get education. That should not happen. We need a strong educational program.


 * //__Environment and E__//****//__nergy__//**, i feel that we must think of the environment when we make a decision. Car companies should be forced to meet a certain mileage or not sell the car. There should be a law of car companies being required to make cars that get up to at least x amount of miles. With more cars that have a low mileage, causes a greater air pollution. Scientists have reduced the amount of air pollution given off by a car by more than 50% since the 1960's, but there are a lot more cars now than in 1960.


 * //__Health and Safety__//**, this should be the number one priority because preventable illnesses account for every 8 our of 9 leading categories for death. There should be a health plan that gives people health care for less. Health care is one of the most expensive thing that the average American pays for. It costs about 3,925 dollars for one person to have health care. The lower class people cannot afford this. I feel that a plan to lower health care costs for the lower class and some for the middle class would save a lot of lives. My plan is to lower health care costs for the lower class who cannot afford it.

Health and Safety is a big issue for Georgia because people have such poor habits like these:


 * 1) 1 Georgia is rated #3 out of 51 on how many people try to quit smoking. 60.4% of people try to quit smoking. That means only 40% of the population is smoke free.
 * 2) 2 28% of the population has High Blood pressure. A extra factor to your health can increase your health insurance by 20%
 * 3) 3 33.2% of the population has High Cholesterol. High Cholesterol is mainly caused by what you eat. This means that more than 1/3 of the population does not eat properly with the food pyramid.
 * 4) 4 56.1% of the population is overweight, while the obesity rate is 22% (obesity rate is added on to the overweight percentage) Obesity can increase your health insurance by 27%
 * 5) 5 The twin birth ratio is 31.6, that is pretty high
 * 6) 6 The world's largest infantry training center was established in 1918(Fort Benning,) and famer's market (Forest Park) is located in Georgia. Georgia was in the path of Sherman's march to the sea. He destroyed Atlanta which is Georgia's capital.

Our Bill: Is about health care. We came up with a way to cover almost all of the 47 million people who do not have health insurance. Health insurance is important because it pays for us to stay healthy. Some people do not go to the doctor annually for a check-up because their health care does not cover it. The average cost to have a check-up is around 300 dollars. That is just for a doctor to tell you that you are okay. If there is something wrong with you, it could cost you extra for tests to figure out what it is, and then medicine to fix the problem. That could get expensive very quick. 47 million people do not have health insurance. Most of them are low income families that cannot afford it. Our bill will give those people/families the chance to get health care for each individual. Health Care really is important if you think about it.
