Fact Sheet: The Truth About the Health Care Bill | FDL Action

Fact Sheet: The Truth About the Health Care Bill | FDL Action
A middle class family of four making $66,370 will be forced to pay $5,243 per year for insurance. After basic necessities, this leaves them with $8,307 in discretionary income — out of which they would have to cover clothing, credit card and other debt, child care and education costs, in addition to $5,882 in annual out-of-pocket medical expenses for which families will be responsible. Many families who are already struggling to get by would be better off saving the $5,243 in insurance costs and paying their medical expenses directly, rather than being forced to by coverage they can’t afford the co-pays on.


Yeah, there are a LOT of better ways this could be accomplished. So many even modern liberals are picking up the tune!
