America's seniors have a huge stake in our national health care reform debate. However, well-financed misinformation and fear campaigns have led many to believe health care reform will destroy Medicare. Nothing could be further from the truth! The National Committee's Truth Squad is mobilized to arm seniors with the facts about health care reform's impact on Medicare.
Without health care reform, Medicare will continue to suffer from skyrocketing costs associated with general health care costs, until neither seniors nor the government will be able to afford the program. This inevitably will lead to unprecedented cuts in Medicare - cuts that unlike current health care reform proposals - will directly target Medicare beneficiaries.
National health care reform provides an historic opportunity for us to improve Medicare by closing the Part D doughnut hole, allowing government negotiation of drug prices in Part D and eliminating billions of dollars of wasteful subsidies to private insurers in Medicare. Ignoring Health Care Reform is not an option.
Here you'll find the Truth Squad tool kit for all of our National Committee myth busters. It includes: links to National Committee health care reform policy documents, health care posts from our blog "EntitledtoKnow", our Truth Squad video series busting health care reform myths and a link where you can download your own Truth Squad badge. Share it with friends and wear it proudly to town halls and meetings with your members of Congress. |
