The Democrats’ health care plan will likely cause you to lose your health insurance, and may cause you to lose your job. |

JULY 17, 2009
- During the worst recession in a generation Democrats propose a government takeover of health care that will lead to fewer jobs, higher taxes, and less health coverage.
- Since the recession began, six million jobs have been lost. Yet the Democrats' health care plan includes hundreds of billions of dollars in new tax hikes on small businesses - the engine of job creation in this country. Democrats propose more than $800 billion in new tax hikes.
- According to economic modeling by the president's own chief economic advisor, the business tax hikes alone would destroy up to 4.7 million jobs.
- Despite claims their reform will reduce health care costs, CBO Director Elmendorf told Congress that the Democrats' proposed reform will only INCREASE future federal spending on health care.
- Democrats also propose harmful cuts to Medicare Advantage that will result in millions of seniors losing their health coverage.
- An independent analysis by the non-partisan Lewin Group found that 114 million Americans would lose their current health insurance.
- The American people want real solutions to get our economy back on track, not another excuse to raise taxes on small businesses and working families.
- House Republicans will oppose any plan that puts Washington bureaucrats between patients and the care they need.
- House Republicans have a plan for reform that expands access to affordable health care and gives families the freedom to choose the health care that fits their needs - without imposing a job-killing tax hike on small businesses and working families.
