Partnership Launches First National Ad
WASHINGTON – The Partnership for America’s Health Care
Future
today launched its first national television ad, part of a six-figure
television and digital campaign timed to this week’s Democratic
presidential debates, as first reported by
The
Washington
Post.
“Whether it’s called Medicare for all, Medicare buy-in or the
public
option, the results will be the same: Americans will be forced to pay
more and wait longer for worse care,” said Lauren Crawford Shaver,
the Partnership’s executive director. “Rather than handing
more control over to politicians and bureaucrats, we should build and
improve upon what’s working in American health care, while coming
together to fix what isn’t.”
A new
poll released by the Partnership for America’s Health Care
Future yesterday reveals that voters prioritize improving our
current health care system over offering a new government insurance
system, often referred to as the “public option.” Voters
across party lines prefer a presidential candidate focused on making
those improvements over one who wants to expand government insurance
systems, and majorities also “believe that negative outcomes, such as
increased taxes and fewer employer-based options, are more likely to
occur than positive ones if a government health care program that
people could choose were put into place – and most believe it would
be unlikely to improve their health care or that of their
family.”
As The Wall Street Journal reports, “[t]he Partnership for America’s Health Care Future has [also] run newspaper ads, as well as video ads on Twitter and Facebook, opposing Medicare for All.”
