Change doesn’t come easy and this is being demonstrated daily by the elected Officials we put into office.
If we do not make a our voices heard, we could lose the opportunity to have Health Care for EVERYONE. Please be a part of the change!
Here are some disturbing statistics:
Nearly 9 million Americans have lost their health insurance since 2000.
The United States spends more money on health care than any other country, yet 1 in 6 Americans have no healthcare insurance at all. That’s over 50 million people. Another 75 million
Americans are considered under-insured.
Every 30 seconds an American files for bankruptcy in the aftermath of a serious health problem.
Over 20,000 Americans die needlessly every year because they don’t have health insurance.
Compared with five other nations-Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom-the U.S. health care system ranks last or next-to-last on five dimensions of a high performance health system: quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives. The U.S. is the only country in the study without universal health insurance coverage.
