Making healthcare more affordable for low-income people

 

Affordable healthcare is necessary in our society. It would provide low-income people and families with proper and

necessary medical care. This bill will help to break finance berries in our healthcare system. It would improve the

amount of financial stress on people and family and improve many Minnesotans' lives.

 

In Minnesota, nearly 1 out of every 10 people worry about needing to pay an expensive healthcare bill. People shouldn't

Low-income: making less than $30,000 per year.

Affordable: inexpensive

Grant: being given money to help pay for the cost of their health care.

 

People would be able to get grants ranging for 100$-1000$. The money would be provided by the Saint Paul & Minnesota

Foundation. To be eligible for a grant you need to have one of the following: life-threatening illness, a mental health

condition or a physical disability.
