• This year, each insured American family will pay $1,017 in insurance premiums to cover the medical expenses of the uninsured.
• Insured singles will pay $368 per year.
• That’s $42.7 billion dollars this year – or $1,354 per second.

If you think reform will cost you more to cover the uninsured, you need to know you're paying more now. This "Hidden Health Care Tax" is the undisclosed insurance premium surcharge, paid by America's businesses and insured Americans, that subsidizes the uncompensated health care costs of the uninsured.

America's Affordable Health Choices Act will end the Hidden Health Care Tax and will reduce health care costs, protect and increase consumers' choices, and guarantee access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans.
