Why Reform?

We Need Reform

• There are millions of Americans without health insurance. A recent study from the former director of the Congressional Budget Office (pdf) found that about 22 million Americans are uninsured and don’t have sufficient income to purchase health insurance.
• Our employer-based system ties the loss of a job to the loss of insurance. The practice of linking employment and health insurance coverage has long been favored by employees, employers, and the US government. But this also devastatingly links the loss of a job with the loss of insurance, a problem illustrated in the recent economic downturn.
• Frivolous lawsuits force doctors to practice “defensive medicine” and drive up health care costs. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that medical care providers (like doctors and hospitals) will shoulder about $35 billion in medical liability costs in 2009 alone. These costs force doctors to perform unnecessary medical tests and procedures to avoid litigation exposure, wasting money and increasing insurance costs for the rest of us.
