Video
- Please review our YouTube video, U.S. Health Care In Crisis at imperativefoundation.org.
- The video will aid in understanding why health care benefits are decreasing, yet costing more.
- The video explains the financial and human consequences of doing nothing — and the 2033 cliff your employees face.
Truths
- On a per person basis, the U.S. has paid more than twice the amount for health care than our peer nations, resulting in a $40 trillion overpayment in just 25 years — 1999 to 2024.
- This vast exploitation of our health care system has severely depleted the capital resources that unions can allocate for health care benefits and the federal government can allocate for Medicare, Medicaid, and even Social Security.
- Unions and employers are increasingly saying they cannot continue to provide health care benefits to employees.
- The federal government states that Medicare and Social Security will be underfunded in 2033, paying only portions of promised benefits.
If You And We Don't Act, It Will Only Get Worse
- Congress has not enacted meaningful health care reform in fifty years.
- On its own, Congress will not and cannot reform our health care system or implement a high quality universal health care system.
