Truth About HealthCare

Facts about Nationalized Health Care


An “individual mandate” means that the government will force you to buy or join the health plan it decides is best for you.
Despite spending an additional $1.6 trillion, under the Kennedy Plan two-thirds of the uninsured will still lack coverage. The cost of each newly insured person is $62,500 over 10 years – or $240,000 for a family of four.
A “public plan” means that nearly 120 million people will lose their private coverage (Lewin Group estimate).
The plan is paid for by cutting billions in Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals, reducing seniors’ access to care.
The government will give “guidelines” to the health care system on what is “cost effective.” In Britain, the health board has determined that a year of life is worth $35,000. If an anti-cancer drug, for example, costs more than that, the patient doesn’t get it.
