TOP 10 REASONS TO SUPPORT H.R. 676,

1. Everybody In, Nobody Out . Access to health care for everyone, period.

2. Portability. If you are unemployed, or lose or change jobs, your health coverage stays with you.

3. Uniform Benefits . One level of comprehensive care for everyone.

4. Prevention. A single-payer health system encourages preventive care that lowers an individual's ultimate cost and pain and suffering and societal cost.

5. Choice. Private insurance restricts your choice of providers. Under single-payer, patients have a choice.

6. No Interference with Care. Caregivers and patients regain their autonomy to decide what's best
for a patient's health, not what's dictated by the billing department. No denial of coverage for preexisting
conditions or cancellation of policies for "unreported" minor health problems.

7. Reducing Waste. One third of every private health insurance dollar goes for paperwork and profits,
compared to about 3% under Medicare,

8. Cost Savings. A guaranteed health care system can produce the cost savings needed to cover
everyone, largely by using existing resources without the waste.

9. Common Sense Budgeting. The public system sets fair reimbursements applied equally to all providers.

10. Public Oversight. The public sets the policies and administers the system, not high priced CEOs
meeting in private and making decisions based on their company’s stock performance needs.
