THE FINAL MARCH FOR REFORM
THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN FOR HEALTH REFORM
"At this moment, we are being called upon to fulfill our duty to the citizens of this nation and to future generations....I don't know how passing health care will play politically, but I do know that it's the right thing to do. It's right for our families. It's right for our businesses. It's right for the United States of America."
PRESIDENT OBAMA
Here's what the President's Plan for Health Reform Will Do
1) PROTECT AMERICANS FROM INSURANCE COMPANY ABUSES
. You will never be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions.
. You will never be hit with arbitrary premium hikes.
. You will never see your coverage revoked just when you get
sick or injured.
. You will never face unlimited our of pocket expenses for your
care.
2) QUARANTEE AFFORDABLE CHOICES
. If you like our current doctor and you like your current plan,
you keep them.
. Uninsured individuals and small business owners will become
part of a powerful negotiating pool, just like members of
Congress and other federal employees, lowering prices and
increasing choice.
. Struggling middle class families will receive a tax credit to
make coverage even more affordable - the largest middle class
tax cut for health care in history.
3) REDUCE THE COST OF CARE FOR OUR FAMILIES, BUSINESSES
AND THE GOVERNMENT
. We'll save billions of dollars every year by reducing waste
and abuse in our current system.
. We'll save and create millions of jobs, raise wages and
strengthen the economy.
. We'll cut the deficit by nearly $1 trillion dollars over the
next two decades.
UNDER THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN FOR REFORM:
If you have health insurance through your employer and you like your plan, you can keep it.
If you're a small business owner, you'll receive new tax credits that make it easier for you to provide coverage for employees if you choose to do so.
If you have Medicare, the President's plan guarantees that your benefits will not be cut, and the Medicare Trust Fund will be extended for more than 9 years.
If you're uninsured, you could receive a tax credit to help pay for coverage if needed - part of the largest middle class tax cut for health care in history.
Even if you currently have health insurance, there will be new protections from insurance company abuses, and tax credits will make coverage more affordable.
