ADA President, Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), is standing up for the Public Option! Rep. Woolsey, with 128 co-sponsors is making the case that the public option would actually reduce the deficit. A new report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that the public option could save the federal government an estimated $68 billion between 2014 an 2020. "There is all this concern about the deficit," said Woolsey. "Well, guess what, this would reduce the deficit because it saves so much money." "A government plan could save money with lower administrative costs and by paying hospitals and doctors less than commercial insurance plans, analysts have said; that could result in lower premiums and lower government subsidies for Americans who choose that plan over plans offered by commercial insurers." ADA is proud to stand beside our new president and fight once more for the public option!! View All ADA Updates |
