A Message From Congressman Anthony Weiner
What do health insurance companies do anyway? That’s the $145 billion a year question. That’s how much money goes each year towards profits and overhead to insurance company executives and shareholders. Not for check-ups, not for vital procedures, not for health care.
For the 45 million Americans who get health care through Medicare, the overhead isn’t 30 percent. It’s about 1 percent. That’s all.
So why not open Medicare to everyone? Simple.
That’s why over 145,000 of you have joined this fight by signing-up here at CountdowntoHealthCare.com. Many have heard our voices, but some have continued to stand in our way.
It’s time to follow what the President said yesterday on health care: “We’ve got to get it done.”
Stand with me in this fight. Together we will win.
Anthony
