2. Health Care Bill It will provide for stability to those who have insurance. No more denial for coverage of pre-existing conditions Insurance companies will not be allowed to drop your coverage when you get sick. Puts a cap on out of pocket expenses. You pay only a certain amount of money each year for medication, the government pays the rest.
3. Health Care Bill If you don’t have insurance, you will be able to get affordable and quality coverage. New tax credits for individuals and small businesses, who could not afford coverage. Low- Cost Coverage for individuals and small businesses Use it as a public health option, to keep private insurance companies cost low.
4. Health Care Bill Would not affect the national debt in the long run. Would eliminate the prescription drug “Donut Hole”. Would eliminate extra charges for preventative care like mammograms, flu shots, and diabetes tests to improve overall health and save money.
5. Health Care Bill Pros Every citizen would receive some level of assistance. Citizens would have access to doctors and services that would not normally have. People without children would receive health care for the first time. Assist people with low income. Cons Would be difficult to find high quality service. Selection of doctors would be restricted by the Government. Privacy would be taken away; government would have to know everything you are doing. Government may have the say in when you pull the plug on a loved one.

17. Analysis and Interpretation of Data What is the proportion of people who are in favor of the health care bill? Confidence Interval
18. To 95% certainty we can tell that between 36.4% and 57% of people are in favor of the health care bill
19. Hypothesis Tests All of our hypothesis tests were t- tests, as our sample size is only 90 people. More than half of the population understands the proposed health care bill One sampled hypothesis test
20. More than half of the population understands the proposed health care bill Null: half of the population understands the health care bill µ= 50% Alternative: more or less than half of the population understands the healthcare bill µ <> 50%
21. More than half of the population understands the proposed health care bill test statistic (obs) : 5.81 critical measure : 1.99 |obs| > critical? Yes p-value: 0.00000010 a-level : 0.05 p-value < a-level? Yes Therefore we reject the null: less than half of the population understands the health care bill
22. Hypothesis Tests Do men know more about the health care bill than females? Two sampled hypothesis test
23. Do men know more about the health care bill than females? Null: Females know the same amount of information as males do µ1=µ2 Alternative: Males know more or less about the health care bill µ1<>µ2
24. Do men know more about the health care bill than females? test statistic (obs): (0.283) critical measure: 1.987 |obs| > critical?? No p-value: 0.778 a-level: 0.050 p-value < a-level?? No Therefore, we accept the null. Females know about the same amount of information as men do for the health care bill.
25. Hypothesis Tests 50% or more of the population believes that illegal immigrants receive free health care? One sampled hypothesis test
26. 50% or more of the population believes that illegal immigrants receive free health care? Null: 50% or more believe illegal immigrants receive free health care µ≥50 Alternative: Less than 50% of the population does not belive illegal immigrants receive free health care µ< 50
27. 50% or more of the population believes that illegal immigrants receive free health care? Test statistics(OBS): 13.27 critical measure (tcrit): 1.66 is the |obs|> than the crit? Yes p-value: 1 a-level: 0.05 is the p value < than the a level? No Therefore we accept the null that 50% or more of the population does believe immigrants receive free health care
28. Hypothesis Test Do females spend more on their healthcare? Two-Sampled Hypothesis Test
29. Do females spend more on their healthcare? Null: Females spend the same or more on their health care as males. µ1≥µ2 Alternative: Females spend less on their healthcare than men. µ1<µ2
30. Do females spend more on their healthcare? test statistic (obs): 0.459 critical measure: 1.662 |obs| > critical? No p-value: 0.324 a-level: 0.050 p-value < a-level? Yes Therefore we accept the null that females spend the same or more on their health care as men do
31. Does having children affect how much you pay for health care? Regression Testing Null: Having children affects what you pay Alternative: Having children does not affects what you pay
32. Does having children affect how much you pay for health care? Intercept P- Value: 0.00000000000000000000000000002 X Variable P- Value: 1.00 Therefore, we reject the null; having children does not affect how much you pay for health care.
34. Conclusion We determined that there is no major difference between males and females when it comes to understanding the healthcare bill and also how much they pay for health care.
35. Conclusion In research we did prior to our survey we found out that 62 percent of uninsured people who received free health care were illegal immigrants. In our tests we discovered that more than half the population is aware that illegal immigrants receive free health care.
36. Conclusion We also determined that people who have children do not pay anymore for their health care. Our most surprising finding was that less then half the population understands the health care bill.
37. Things we could have done different? We could have informed people about the bill before we survey them and then asked them what they thought of the bill. Should have asked how much each person spent in the past month on health care as many people did not know specific numbers for the whole year.
