Dear Supporter of Responsible Health Reform,
Tomorrow you have the chance to make your voice heard on the national stage. On Friday at 1:00PM EDT, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius and other public officials will host a webcast to talk about health care reform. This is an important opportunity to ask Secretary Sebelius and her colleagues serious questions about the negative impact of a government-run plan.
The public is invited to submit questions to this forum, which is entitled, "Health Insurance Reform - What's in it For You?" Questions can be mailed to hhsstudio@hhs.gov and submitted via Twitter by using the "hashtag," or reference code, #HCRQ.
This is a great opportunity to ask the tough questions. Several sample questions you might consider are listed below. Please phrase them in your own words so that they reflect your personal thinking on the issues.
Sample questions for tomorrow's webcast:
* How does the current legislation bring down healthcare costs while at the same time promising no limits on care and artificially-capped premiums? It doesn't add up, and the Congressional Budget Office agrees.
* How is it possible for government-run health care to be sustainably funded and not reliant on taxpayer money when it's a proven fact that other - and smaller-scale - government-run health programs like Medicare and Medicaid soon will run out of cash?
* How will it be possible to choose a private health insurance plan if more and more people jump to a less expensive government-run health plan? Won't that cause my premiums to rise - or even put my health plan out of business?
* What guarantees are there that my healthcare options won't be determined by bureaucrats instead of my doctor?
This forum is a great way for people like you to show that you are paying attention and concerned about proposals for a plan that could balloon the deficit, increase costs, and reduce health care choices. We hope you can join this webcast and submit your questions!
