Abstract

To introduce my problem, I will be looking at the homeless and low-income populations in America. I chose this topic because it is a profound issue that has been on-going for decades and the government must intervene. I also chose this topic because I believe that this issue is increasing now more than ever due to COVID-19 and is creating extreme health concerns not only for the homeless but also the citizens who are surrounded by them. There are not many public policies put in place to help combat the disparities in the United States health care system besides the Affordable Cares Act. My policy reforms will focus on low-income populations in an attempt to decrease the state of homelessness in America and help these populations get the healthcare that they need. My policies will include creating a universal healthcare system, similar to Canada’s, in order to ensure that lowerincome populations are able to attain appropriate healthcare when needed, and on a federal level, make the extension of medical services fair and expand the Affordable Cares Act to all 50 states.
