BUSH CAMPAIGN CITES STUDY THAT SHOWS BUSH PLAN WOULD RAISE HEALTH COSTS
http://blog.johnkerry.com/rapidresponse/archives/002882.html#more

Today, the Bush campaign cited a study of the Kerry and Bush health plans by The Lewin Group. But even this misleading and inaccurate study shows that Bush is lying about his plan.

It taken awhile, but the Bush campaign finally came clean about the fact that its health care plan raises costs and fails to help cover as many people as it claims. The Bush plan is so bad that even this misleading study finds fault with it. America doesn’t need any more of these wrong direction ideas from George Bush.

The Lewin Group study shows that Bush plan raises health premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for families. Bush claims that his plan would make health care more affordable – but The Lewin Group contradicts him. It finds that the average family will see their health costs go up by $68 under the Bush plan and down $451 under the Kerry plan. In addition, it finds that health premiums would go up for all income groups making over $10,000 under the Bush plan and down for all income groups under the Kerry plan.
