Will Senate Finance Committee Democrats vote today to burden Americans with higher health insurance premiums, taxes and deficits?

This morning’s RNC Research Briefing shows while President Obama has often pledged that his government-run health care experiment “will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government,” the Senate Finance Committee Democrats’ bill does the exact opposite. A new report shows Sen. Max Baucus’s (D-MT) bill would raise health insurance premiums for American families by $4,000 over the next decade because of the $506 billion in health care taxes and fees, as well as the $404 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid shifting costs “to private sector businesses and consumers.”

And don’t believe all the rhetoric that this version of a government-run health care experiment is “deficit-neutral.” Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) hid hundreds of billions of additional costs that would eventually create deficits shouldered on the backs of American taxpayers, a move ripped by The Washington Post’s editorial board as “A Shell Game For Disguising Health Reform Costs.”

RNC Research also shows that a vote for this bill will also be a vote for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-MV) to make it worse. Reid already plans to hide in his office with the White House to concoct a final version of the health care experiment by combining the Senate Finance Democrats health care taxes and Medicare cuts with the more liberal Senate HELP Committee Democrats’ bill, promising to include a so-called “public option” that could mean over 88 million Americans losing their current coverage.
