Ours is the only nation in the industrialized world that has turned health care over to the private sector, subjecting all of us to life expectancy five years below the norm in other wealthy countries.

More of our babies die in the first year of life and more of our moms die in childbirth than in any other industrialized country.

We spend twice as much per person on health care in the United States as peer countries, yet we have the highest rates of death for conditions that are treatable.

On the congressional agenda are cuts to Medicaid of more than $600 billion over 10 years. Hundreds of thousands Kentuckians are among those in the line of fire.
