PRESIDENT OBAMA’S PLANS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM

 

1. REFORM will STRENGTHEN Medicare

Reform will improve Medicare’s quality of care by cutting down on paperwork, focusing on wellness and prevention, and rewarding doctors for the care they provide instead of how many procedures they do. This all adds up to more choices and better care for less money.

 

2. REFORM will NOT cut our Medicare benefits

President Obama has clearly said, “nobody is talking about cutting Medicare benefits.” And AARP agrees that reform will simply eliminate billions in giveaways via the Medicare Advantage program that boost insurance company profits — but don’t help folks like us.

 

3. REFORM will SAVE us money

Reform will close the doughnut hole in Medicare Part D that’s costing people so much money for prescription drugs, and eliminate co-pays for preventative care like cancer screenings and immunizations.

 

4. REFORM will SAVE Medicare in the long run

If we do nothing, costs will keep rising and the Medicare trust fund will be at risk of going bust within a decade. Reform will save Medicare from bankruptcy and ensure we get the care we need for years to come.

 

5. REFORM will HELP our loved ones

Reform will extend coverage for young people, stop insurance companies from charging women more, and make it illegal to deny coverage because of a preexisting condition or cut care just when you need it most.
