We, the undersigned, believe that health care reform is about our health and the health of our country.
Health care reform is about care, not just insurance. People need real health care, not just an insurance plan.
Public health care coverage saves taxpayers money (link to Commonwealth Fund study). Including a public health insurance option similar to Medicare in any proposed reform would save almost two TRILLION dollars more than any reform that does not include a public option.
We need real health care reform. With a public option and a standard set of benefits across all private and public plans, everyone will be better able to access coverage they can understand, at a price taxpayers can afford. It’s about our health and our quality of life. It’s about all of us.
