Causes:
- Many people get sick a lot of the time from unsanitary living conditions.
- This is something that could easily be prevented and could save many people's lives with just a few investments to keep everything sanitary.

How we achieved these goals:

- All of these were investments Theodore Roosevelt suggested.
Successes and Failures:

- Theodore Roosevelt passed a law to make these ideas come into action and for everyone to get the medical care they need.
- Not everyone will like these ideas, but they're really just to help people.
