Most Americans can live a comfortable life based on the salary they earn without support from public welfare system universal. The Americans called middle class are usually private homes and private cars, take the time every year for vacation, and can pay - at least partly - college costs for children mine. Most Americans set aside money in a savings account to pay the major costs; many people invest in the stock market in hopes of earning more profits from their investments.
Most of them buy insurance, especially life insurance and health insurance, often with the close contributed by the companies where they work. Many companies also have retirement plans in which they and their employees exclusively for pension funds. When additional funds of Social Insurance, pensions for retired allow more Americans can live comfortably. On the other hand, for older people in the US need long-term care outside the hospital, where nursing costs can be very expensive.
In 1993, a family of four with an annual income of about 14,763 dollars -la or less is considered poor by American standards; 15.1% of US households in this category. In addition to the benefits mentioned above, many families live below the poverty line are receiving the subsidies provided by the government each month to those whose income is too low to meet basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. Type of the most popular benefits is done through a program called Help for Families with dependent children (AFDC). Which was set up to help children orphaned, AFDC evolved into a regular source of income for millions of poor families in the United States.
The total value of all of the assistance programs of the Union - how including Social Insurance, elderly care, support the poor, and many other subsidy programs - about half the total expenditure of the Federal Government. This rate is more than double the proportion of those in 1960.

poor support program is a joint program of the federal and state funded health care poor. The conditions to receive support and care range under this program vary widely by state. At a cost of about 156 billion dollars a year, the program supports poor people's social welfare program the largest in the country.
The care for the elderly is another form of federal health insurance. The program covered a large portion of the medical bills of Americans aged 65 and older or who are disabled, regardless of age. Elder care programs are funded from a portion of Social Insurance taxes and fees paid by those who receive federal funds and by. All who receive Social Insurance are eligible for care for the elderly program. One of the health issues most troubling is that the United States having to care for those who can not afford health insurance and are not eligible for the two programs support the poor and elderly care. It is estimated that every seven Americans, a people without health insurance for at least some time during the year. They may be unemployed or have jobs without medical contracts or those whose lives are barely above the poverty line. They can go to public hospitals to be treated in an emergency, but they often do not get the regular care to prevent illness.
Helping uninsured Americans is one of the priorities of President Bill Clinton when he took office in 1993. After the discussions, public debates across the country and at all levels among the population, in 1996, Congress passed the the law is designed to create conditions for health insurance to be more with the working families and their children. New legislation to expand access to health insurance for workers who lose their jobs or get covered with a medical condition that existed before, and it set up a pilot program for tax-deferred savings account to used to pay medical bills.
