2009 is the Year America Can Achieve Guaranteed, Quality, Affordable Health Care We All Can Count On!


Problem

Health Care That is Unaffordable and Unavailable for Families,
Businesses, and Government  


Americans know it’s getting tougher to get quality, affordable health care no matter how hard we work.  Since 2001, premiums for family coverage have increased 78%, while wages have gone up 19% and inflation 17%.   

  • The government already spends over $40 billion a year on health care for the uninsured
  • In Florida, more than 6 people die every day because of lack of  health insurance.
  • 14,000 people are losing their health insurance coverage every day.
  • In Florida alone, the top three insurers profited $313.5 million in 2007.

 

Why Private Health
Insurance Alone Doesn’t
Meet Our Needs  

  • They only want to cover the healthy and divide us into small groups, driving up costs.
  • They do not want to cover costly services.
  • They cover different services under varying conditions and pay different amounts.
  • They can change many terms of coverage whenever they please.
     

Solution

Guaranteed, Quality Affordable Health Care for all Americans!


  • Health coverage that is affordable for every person, family, and business.
    Coverage with premiums and out-of-pocket costs based on your ability to pay.
  • Government acts as a watchdog, setting and enforcing rules so private insurance companies can’t deny coverage or raise rates based on health history, age, or gender.

 

Choice of Private or Public Health Insurance Plan


  • Keep your current private insurance plan or join a new public health insurance plan.
  • The choice of a new public health insurance plan is a guaranteed backup that will always be there to ensure quality, affordable health care coverage no matter what.

 

Equal Access to Quality Care  


  • Create equity in health care access, treatment, research, and resources to people and communities of color and strengthen health services in low-income communities.

It is up to you to make sure Congress acts this year.
