Protect and Expand Healthcare Freedom

Since Obamacare was put into law, a deep and powerful anger and frustration has been growing towards our health care system.

This frustration with the health care system is directly correlated with the government’s encroaching takeover. The more the government gains control, the worse our health care system gets.

Put simply, for a long time, increased government regulation and control has been ruining healthcare in America, and Americans are increasingly suffering. Our health care outcomes are becoming worse. Obamacare put this destructive pattern on steroids.

Yet, despite this disastrous track record of poor performance, progressives have been very effective in blaming others for the problems their progressive policies created.

Unfortunately, since Americans are mad at the current system and don’t see an alternative, polls show growing support for progressive plans such as Medicare for All that would mean a government takeover of all health care – including plans that would outlaw private insurance.

There is increasing pressure on Congress to “DO SOMETHING,” and the two key ways we must turn the tide against more government controls over our health care. They are:

1.    Warn Americans about the real dangers of Medicare for All and the other efforts for a government takeover of our health care. We need to give Americans the frightening facts about Medicare for All, such as it would: OUTLAW PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE, CLOSE HOSPITALS AND MEAN FEWER DOCTORS, CUT THE NUMBER OF BREAKTHROUGH DRUGS AND TREATMENTS, PUSH MEDICARE FURTHER TOWARD BANKRUPTCY AND RATIONING, REQUIRE ABSURDLY HIGH TAXES AND TAKING MONEY FROM OTHER PRIORITIES, and more.

2.    Show Americans that with the AFP Personal Option plan, they have a real alternative to more government that will bring down costs, increase access, and put them, not government or insurance bureaucrats in control of their health care.

Americans for Prosperity, with its 144 offices in 36 states and millions of grassroots activists, is the one, and possibly only, organization that can turn the tide of public opinion against socialized medicine. Stopping a government takeover of health care and advancing the Personal Option will require growing and mobilizing their grassroots network over a sustained period, along with a massive media effort. 

I realize AFP urgently needs my personal support and participation. That is why I am making an urgent gift that will enable Americans for Prosperity to wage this effort against Medicare for All and all their efforts to protect and expand my freedoms.
