The Healthy Families Program is designed to fill the gap for those who are off welfare, but not earning enough to afford private health insurance.
The state has expended considerable effort and expense to get the working poor to enroll in the Healthy Families Program. The cost for coverage is modest, up to $7.00 a month per child.the Healthy Families Program would be expanded so that a family of three with an annual income under $21,000 would pay no monthly premium.

Week7 task2 The Last Samurai

This movie is my favorite movie, and nice many actors, many nice scenes and sounds.
I think it is perfect.
This story is...
Captain Nathan Algren (TOM CRUISE) He is Katsumoto (KEN WATANABE), the last leader of an ancient line of warriors, the venerated Samurai, who dedicated their lives to serving emperor and country.
The paths of these two warriors converge when the young Emperor of Japan, wooed by American interests who covet the growing Japanese market, hires Algren to train Japan's first modern, conscript army. But as the Emperor's advisors attempt to eradicate the Samurai in preparation for a more Westernized and trade-friendly government, Algren finds himself unexpectedly impressed and influenced by his encounters with the Samurai. Their powerful convictions remind him of the man he once was.

Please watch it!!!
It's very nice movie.
