Editor's Notes
- Cover Sample – Proposal title can be deleted – everything is auto animated
- What the public is right about The public is familiar with provisions in the law that: Provide subsidies for low and moderate income Americans to buy insurance Prohibit insurers for denying coverage based on a pre-existing condition Provider tax credits for small businesses that provide health insurance for workers Expand Medicaid eligibility What the public is wrong about Many Americans hold misimpressions about provisions of healthcare 6 out of 10 think the law creates a government run health plan (it doesn’t) 2 out of 3 think that ALL businesses are required to buy insurance for workers (not true, businesses with less than 20 employees are exempt) Nearly 50 percent think that the law cuts some benefits for Medicare (it doesn’t)
- That America currently has a private health care system We actually have a private/public health care system Health care delivery is largely private but government pays a large share of medical care through Medicaid and Medicare (and those programs relate directly to the cost shift in private health care) That Americans “overwhelmingly despise the current health care system.” Most Americans are actually satisfied with the quality of their personal medical care More than 8 in 10 Americans say they are satisfied with their current medical arrangements
- A majority of Americans actually support the idea of universal health care. But, when it comes to federal health care reform in the US, opinions are more split 50 percent of Americans think that President Obama is on the wrong track regarding federal health care reform And, as you can see above, favorable opinions and unfavorable opinions about federal reform were equal as of December.
- Constitutional amendments to block requirements for individuals to have health insurance -- generally referred to as "health care freedom acts" -- were written to prevent states from requiring individuals to have health insurance and provide as much protection as possible from similar upcoming federal requirements. The Colorado Medical Society, hospitals and community health centers campaigned against Amendment 63 Legislators in at least 30 states introduced bills or state constitutional amendments in 2009 and 2010 to block requirements for individuals to have health insurance That number could grow in 2011 and 2012 because Republicans gained at least 19 state legislative chambers and five governors' offices on Nov. 2. The GOP now controls 25 Legislatures and 29 governors' offices.
