Kansas Statistics: What will health care reform do for you?

By Mike Nellis
July 29, 2009

I'm proud to be organizing online for the Kansas Democratic Party!

Last week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee released district by district reports on the Affordable Health Choices Act being worked on in Congress. The results are incredibly encouraging for health care reform advocates because current legislation is estimated to both reduce costs and increase access to thousands of Kansans.

That's why I wanted to pass along some of the data below the fold...

First Congressional District Stats:

  • 69,000 uninsured individuals would gain access to high quality, affordable care
  • 19,000 small businesses may receive tax credits to provide coverage to employees
  • 13,300 seniors would avoid the donut hole in Medicare Part D
  • 700 families could escape bankruptcy each year to unaffordable health care costs

Learn more about real health care reform and tell Rep. Moran to act in 2009!

Second Congressional District Stats:

  • 59,000 uninsured individuals would gain access to high quality, affordable care
  • 14,800 small businesses may receive tax credits to provide coverage to employees
  • 10,300 seniors would avoid the donut hole in Medicare Part D
  • 1,100 families could escape bankruptcy each year to unaffordable health costs

Third Congressional Distirct Stats:

  • 53,000 uninsured individuals would gain access to high quality, affordable care
  • 18,800 small businesses may receive tax credits to provide coverage to employees
  • 9.700 seniors would avoid the donut hole in Medicare Part D
  • 1,200 families could escape bankruptcy each year to unaffordable health costs
