Why Pennsylvania Urgently Needs
a Single Payer Healthcare Economic Impact Study
Over 1.2 million people in Pennsylvania have no health insurance. Another two million are under-insured.
- Health insurance premiums are spinning out of control. Co-pays are going up. More people are losing their homes because of medical bills.
- Many employers, unable to keep up with rising costs reduced or eliminated health benefits so they can compete in the global marketplace. Some plan to pay fines, rather than pay for employee insurance, when the Federal Reform is in effect.
- Insurance companies do not contribute to actual care often second guess physicians and refuse to pay for needed care.
- There is widespread disparity in quality of and access to health care.
There is an answer
State single payer legislation would establish a publicly integrated system that would pay for privately chosen and delivered comprehensive, quality health care to all residents of Pennsylvania, improved Medicare for All.
Health Care for All PA studies indicate that individuals, families, businesses and state, Counties, local municipalities and school districts would save billions of dollars with a single payer system.
An objective ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY would be a powerful tool to convince distressed local governments and legislators of the necessity for action.
