Well, we've finally seen the first ad from the newly formed industry front group @P4AHCF. It was filled with a health mix of distorted claims and outright lies (imagine our shock!) @BizHealthPol president @wendellpotter is here to set them straight. (A thread!)
Employer sponsored coverage isn't "affordable" for business owners or workers, and that cost is a huge reason we're seeing worse health outcomes.
Most of us haven't had a statistics class recently, but here's a refresher on the basics...
We get why the healthcare industry wants you to think that Medicare for All and the public option are the same thing, but just to be clear...
This is a ridiculous lie we'll probably be hearing a lot from the industry. The truth is that #MedicareForAll would provide patients with more choices than ever before!
.@P4AHCF and their funders will try and scare the American public by claiming #MedicareForAll will cost too much and limit our access to care. In reality, it will create significant savings while finally ensuring everyone can get the healthcare they need.
70% of Americans believe our healthcare system is in a state of crisis, but @P4AHCF will tell you it just needs a few small tweeks. They're wrong. It's way past time for #MedicareForAll
