Today, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute released a study, The Cost of Failure to Enact Health Reform:Implications for States, underscoring the urgent need for reform and why inaction is not an option for Americans. Without health insurance reform, within 10 years, we can expect:
Individual and family out-of-pocket costs to increase by more than 35 percent in every state. In the best case, 12 states would see individual and family spending increase by more than 50 percent.As many as 65.7 million Americans to be uninsured (today, there are more than 46 million uninsured). Every state would see at least a 10 percent rise in the number of uninsured; the increase would be more than 30 percent in 29 states.

FACT: Not true. Fixing our health insurance system to ensure quality, affordable care -- and to end an era where insurance companies can discriminate against you because you get sick -- requires shared responsibility, on the part of individuals, employers and the government.
