Work To Do
September 28, 2012
Dear Friends,
When the Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010, Republicans claimed that the law would result in higher premiums and lower enrollment in Medicare Advantage. It turns out that the opposite is true. The Health & Human Services recently announced that enrollment in Medicare Advantage is projected to increase by 11 percent in the next year and premiums will remain steady. Furthermore, since the Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010, Medicare Advantage premiums have fallen by 10 percent and enrollment has risen by 28 percent.
After twenty months in the Majority, House Republicans have wasted time on political messaging bills, voting six times for a budget that would end the Medicare guarantee, and voting 33 times to repeal healthcare reform and the consumer protections and benefits it brings.
Meanwhile, Democrats have not only fought to protect Medicare as we know it, but continued to push for sensible solutions that will create jobs, reduce deficits, and create opportunities for more of our people to “Make It In America.” Democrats are committed to reigniting the American dream, building ladders of opportunity for anyone willing to work hard, take responsibility, and play by the rules. We must strengthen the pillars that have always made our economy succeed: small businesses, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle class. And we have work to do.
