__**Problem**__ The health care problem in America is not only effecting adults and senior citizens but children too. there are about 60 of non elderly on health insurance from employers but their families go uninsured. There is a program called State Children's Health Insurance Program which helps with costs of some but they are limited on how many people they can help.

__**What we have already**__ In the United states we do have Medicaid for low income persons, children, senior citizens, and the disabled. Not all expenses are covered but most benefits are free. This covers things such as doctors, hospital services, labs, x-rays,hearing aids and more. This is good but what if your income is just high enough that you cannot get this and your income is not high enough to afford medical insurance. Also in the US we have Medicare which covers persons over the age of 65, people with disabilities, and people that are under 65 with permanent kidney failure. Third they have CHIP which covers children of working families and it covers such things as preventive care, prescription drugs, lab tests and X-rays, among other medical services. This only covers your kids that are younger then 19.

__**Solutions for the uninsured**__ President Obama plans on cutting costs for health care two trillion dollars in the next 10 years. The savings can be achieved by improving coordination, increasing efficiency, developing better technology and accepting regulatory reform. This is to believed to eventually be able to save families up to 2,500 dollars every year.
