  of unpaid leave per year without fear of losing
  their jobs.

  costs for health care have risen dramatically and
  are expected to continue to rise. While Medicare
  is a public insurance program that provides
  coverage to almost everyone who is 65 and older,
  it only covers a portion of health care expenses.
