The
Hidden Health Care Tax
This
year, every insured American family will pay $1,017 -- and insured singles
will pay $368 per year -- in insurance premiums just to cover the medical
expenses of the uninsured. That's $42.7 billion this year - or $1,354
per second. This "Hidden Health Care Tax" is the undisclosed
insurance premium surcharge, paid by America's businesses and insured
Americans, that subsidizes the uncompensated health care costs of the
uninsured.
So
if you think reform will cost you more to cover the uninsured, you need
to know you're paying more now.
America's
Affordable Health Choices Act (HR 3200) will end the Hidden Health
Care Tax and will reduce health care costs, protect and increase consumers'
choices, and guarantee access to quality, affordable health care for all
Americans.
