Rising Costs in Health Care? Demand Better Choices
The economic crisis is affecting everyone. Job layoffs and tightening budgets across the country are hurting friends and families, and amidst the turmoil people still get sick and need health care. But Americans can’t afford to have giant insurance companies dictate our health care anymore – deciding whether or not we get it and how much it costs – while they rake in fat profits.
Economic recovery and health care reform are inextricably linked. Without changes to our health care system, costs will continue to skyrocket and push more Americans into debt. Each year, approximately 1.5 million families lose their homes to foreclosure because of unaffordable medical costs.
We need change in our health care system to get our country back on sound financial footing. And real change in health care means giving consumers real choice – like having both private insurers and a public plan option for health coverage.
