Why is Health Care the Focus?

1. If you look at the economy, the cost of health care has a negative impact on workers' wages;
2. With health care going up by 10% each year and wages going up less than 3%, it is a losing proposition for workers;
3. High health care costs makes U.S. products at least 6% more expensive that other capitalistic countries;
4. Health care is a right and not a privilege; and
5. 700,000 families go bankrupt each year because of health care costs.
