That's why we worked so hard to increase educational opportunities in the last two years from Head Start to public schools to apprenticeships for young people who don't go to college, to making college loans more available and more affordable. That's the first thing we have to do: We've got to do something to empower people to improve their skills. Taxes
I propose a landmark $30-billion college opportunity tax cut a middle-class tax deduction for up to $10,000 in college tuition costs. We've already made two years of college affordable for all. Now let's make four years of college affordable for all. If we take all these steps, we will move a long way toward making sure every child starts school ready to learn and graduates ready to succeed.
From all corners of America, we heard the same message without regard to region or income or political affiliation we've got to raise the quality of child care, we've got to make it safer, we've got to make it more affordable.
Kennedy and Jeffords, Roth and Moynihan, to allow people with disabilities to keep their health insurance when they go to work. We need to enable our public hospitals, our community, our university health centers to provide basic, affordable care for all the millions of working families who don't have any insurance.

And let's give them a tax credit to make that choice an affordable one. When the Baby Boomers retire, Medicare will be faced with caring for twice as many of our citizens and yet it is far from ready to do so. My generation must not ask our children's generation to shoulder our burden. We must strengthen and modernize Medicare now.
Brazilians and South Africans, for instance, pay a fraction of the price paid in the West for their anti-retroviral AIDS medication. Even so, the price of a typical treatment is not affordable. Foreign donors, private foundations such as the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation and international organizations had to step in to cover the shortfall.
Last year, we helped parents provide child care for about two million children. My child care initiative, along with funds already secured in welfare reform, would make child care better, safer, and more affordable for another 400,000 children. For hard-pressed middle-income families, we should also expand the child care tax credit. And we should take the next big step.
We make basic health insurance affordable for all low-income people not now covered. We do it by providing a health-insurance tax credit of up to $3750 for each low-income family. The middle class gets help, too.
On the other hand, the situation was getting worse for the poorest countries. During the ILO Symposium on Multimedia Convergence held in January 1997, Wilfred Kiboro, Managing Director and Chief Executive of Nation Printers and Publishers Ltd., Kenya, stated: "Information technology needs to be brought to affordable levels.
