The Real Truth about Health Care Reform
There is no doubt that the intense debate surrounding health care reform has overwhelmed the nation and Congress over the past few months. Rhetoric from both Republicans and Democrats, national media, activists, and others has been heated and misleading leaving Americans asking themselves, what is the real truth about health care reform?
To that end, the National Health Council seeks to shift the debate on health care in favor of rational discourse. These misleading and distorted claims lack any basis in the health reform proposals currently before Congress and threaten to derail efforts to improve our nation’s health care system. We must not lose sight of the overarching goal – to make health care first and foremost patient-focused. Legislation must meet the 5 Principles for Putting Patients First.
The NHC has developed a resource you can use to find out the REAL truth about health care. You can read it by clicking here. We all need to be clear about what is actually being proposed so that we can ensure health care reform that Puts Patients First.
