New government insurance systems threaten access to care for millions of Americans.
” It is very concerning to me that Medicare for All and some of these other government-run insurance systems could cause rural hospitals and NICUs to close across the country.”
A newborn intensive care unit (NICU) nurse of 18 years, Meredith knows exactly how vital specialty care is for newborns and their families.
Every family deserves access to quality specialty care, but a new government insurance system could force hospitals – including as many as 55% of rural hospitals – to close.
“As many as 55% of rural hospitals, across 46 states, could be at a high risk of closure ”

Here’s the Truth:
Patients and families deserve a system that increases their access to care, not put it at risk. A one-size-fits-all system like Medicare for All, Medicare Buy-In or the public option would threaten access to quality care for millions of Americans.
These new government health insurance systems would mean higher taxes and less access to quality of care, and would put politicians in control of our health care. It’s time to build on what’s working and fix what’s broken – not start over – so that every American has access to the quality care they deserve.
