"Five myths about health care from around the world" debunks misinformation about health systems across the globe as reform advocates spell out why health reform will be good for seniors
It seems that President Obama has been spending a lot of his
time these past few weeks responding to ludicrous and deliberately misleading
attacks on health reform. It seems like as soon as we finish responding to one,
another attack pops up. Unfortunately, a small group of loud radical fringe
opponents are trying to scare the public with blatant lies.
Small businesses play a significant role in our economy. In
fact, over 96 percent of firms employ 50 or fewer workers. Like everyone else, these businesses need some relief.
While the Senate
continues to struggle over its approach to health care reform, House Democratic
leaders have unveiled a bill that would go a long way toward solving the
nation's health insurance problems without driving up the deficit. It is
already drawing fierce opposition from business groups and many Republicans.
This is a bill worth fighting for.
Yesterday, three committees in the House - Education and Labor, Ways and Means, and Energy and Commerce - came together to release a health reform bill that goes far in fixing American's broken health care system. The robust bill (America's Affordable Health Choices Act) guarantees that everyone is covered and it promotes shared responsibility among individuals, employers, and the government. It effectively provides quality and affordable health care for all.
