Affordable Healthcare

What problem would you like to solve?

Those who can't afford health insurance or pay for normal healthcare bills

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

A lot of citizens have to ignore their own health and force themselves to continue working to provide for themselves and/or their families and are still unable to afford basic healthcare.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Access to a fund for basic healthcare bills, including dental and eye exams/eyeglasses

Who would that help?

Low income NYers

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Manhattan
