Reid 'Health Care' Reform Bill Increases Premiums by $3,100 Yearly and Funds Abortion!

Senator Harry Reid's (D-NV) 2,074-page health care bill will increase family health insurance premiums by an average of $3,100 a year, according to new figures released by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

The CBO says that an average family plan will increase by 28% under the Reid bill -- from $11,000 per family to $14,100 per family. In addition, a family of four with an income of $54,000 will pay 17% more of its income for premiums and cost sharing in Reid's government-run health care legislation.

Reid's bill will end up costing the American taxpayer $2.5 trillion and leave families with higher health care costs. "Reid's legislative takeover of health care costs Americans $1.2 billion per page or $6.8 million per word!," said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. "And what do we get for it? Socialized medicine and higher health care costs!"

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has posted a simple analysis of Reid's bill on his web site. http://coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Files.View&FileStore_id=2fd3e74b-d513-4a64-bbcc-a88f3e1739f9 Reid's bill will not only increase health care costs, but result in an estimated loss of 1.6 million jobs and leaves 24 million without health insurance. Reid imposes an $8 billion tax on uninsured Americans and $28 billion in new taxes on employers! Reid also cuts Medicare by $465 billion and cuts $118 from Medicare Advantage.

"Reid's solution to health care reform is to tax Americans, punish senior citizens, and increase the cost of health care for everyone," said Lafferty.
