FORTY LIES IN 40 DAYS: #2 Commitment to Health Care Reform


Title X family planning care for 5 million people saves US taxpayers $3.74 for every $1 spent. 

Title X care is an important choice for many low-income people; it may be their only access to health care; and it demonstrably saves taxpayers' money. 

And Buerkle's reelection website proposes: 

Real health care reform ought to be enacted in incremental steps that preserve patient choice, protect access to health care, and control costs without hurting job growth, reducing patient care, or slashing Medicare for seniors. [color added for emphasis]

Yet Buerkle would defund Title X and offers no plan to replace it.
