What Health Insurance Reform Means For YOU!

Lower Costs, More Choices, and Coverage You can Count ON

 

1)  Security  &  Peace  of  Mind:  If  you  start  a  small  business,  if  your  child  finishes  school,  if  you  have  a  preexisting  condition,  or  if  you  lose  your  job  you  won't  have  to  worry  about  securing  affordable  health  care.  

 

2)  Affordability:  Missouri  families  and  small  businesses  will  be  able  to  afford  health  care  coverage  because  of  sliding  scale  premiums  and  limiting  out  of  pocket  costs.  Medicaid  Coverage  will  be  strengthened  for  families  who  can't  afford  health  insurance.

 

3)  Better  Choices  and  More  Freedom:  If  you  have  good  coverage,  you  can  keep  it.  If  you  like  your  doctors,  you  can  still  see  them.  What  Health  Care  Reform  does  is  reform  the  Insurance  Industry  so  you  can  get  a  fair  price  and  have  affordable  choices.   

 

4)  A  More  Productive  Economy:  Health  Care  reform  will  create  a  more  prosperous,  productive  Missouri  economy  by  giving  more  than  135,000  Missouri  small  businesses  tax  credits  and  affordable  options  for  health  care  for  their  employees.

 

5)  The  Numbers:  Health  Care  Reform  will  provide  access  to  quality,  affordable  health  care  for  374,000  Missourians  who  are  currently  uninsured  by  2013  and  up  to  600,000  Missourians  by  2019,  More  than  92,800  Missouri  Seniors  will  receive  health  care  that  they  need  and  more  than  135,000  of  Missouri  small  businesses  will  be  able  to  find  affordable  health  care  for  their  employees.  All  of  Missouri's  5.9  million  residents  will  benefit  from  more  security,  affordability,  freedom  and  peace  of  mind.

 

 Missourians  Need  Health  Care  Reform  Now:  It's  time  to  stop  playing  politics  and  create  an American  solution  for  Health Care!
