Dear Members,
We encourage ALL OF OUR MEMBERS TO WRITE YOUR LEGISLATORS OR CALL
THEM NOW.
We do not want any form of socialized medicine, period. We believe that the
government should not come between the patient and the doctor. Who has the
right to tell you that your life is not valuable? Who has the right to deny you
that hip replacement or transplant? Who gets to opt out? Just the states with
powerful legislators?
We firmly believe in the free market. Let the voices of our citizens, we
the people, be heard. We do not want this version of health care reform. Do not
handcuff our free enterprise system. Legislators, can you hear us? It seems
like some enterprising individual could sell a lot of hearing aids to this
administration.
Make YOUR voice heard today. Call your Legislators now!
Shirley Sadler
NFRW President
Talking Points:
5 FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HR 3590
(Current Senate Health Care Bill)
1. Medicare Cuts. The bill would cut Medicare by $500 billion, and
millions of seniors would lose access to Medicare Advantage plans.
2. Higher Health Insurance Premiums. As confirmed
by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill would result in non-group
premium increases of $300 per year for individuals and $2,500 per year for
families.
3. Higher Healthcare Costs. The current Senate
bill, like the one passed by Speaker Pelosi in the U.S. House, would increase
healthcare costs, not lower them.
4. Lost Coverage. As confirmed by the CBO, up to
10 million people would lose their employer-provided healthcare
coverage.
5. More and More Spending. Actually, $2.5 trillion
worth , in its first 10 years of implementation, increasing our national debt
even more.
