Tax credits, although modest, will allow people to avail of health insurance coverage that is both comprehensive and affordable. Tax credits can purchase benefits relevant to a population both geographically and demographically. Continuous development of tax credits and reevaluation of current insurance regulations is one key way to help expand health insurance coverage to a large number of uninsured.
