“U.S. Citizens already pay for healthcare. The truth is, we pay too much into a system designed to profit from illness instead of preventing it.”

THE TRUTH:

U.S. Citizens currently pay for healthcare through:

Employer premiums
Employee deductions
Copays
Deductibles
Surprise bills
Prescription markups
Medicare taxes
Medicaid taxes
Emergency room cost shifting

Families are already paying thousands every year before they ever see a doctor.

Taxpayers subsidize inefficiency

The system is expensive because waste is profitable.

These nations cover everyone while spending less per person than the United States.

NEGOTIATE DRUG PRICES: Other nations use national bargaining power to lower prices. The U.S. often pays far more for the same medicine than peer countries.

Negotiate directly with drug manufacturers
Cap excessive price increases
Buy in bulk
Prioritize generic competition
