Fox News: President Obama’s newest proposal for health care reform includes much of the provisions of the Senate’s bill that passed on Christmas Eve, but excludes the special deal arranged for Nebraska to have its Medicaid bills covered by the federal government.
Administration officials said Monday that the president’s proposal does not include a so-called public option because that did not make it into final Senate language.
The latest plan is expected to require most Americans to carry health insurance coverage, with federal subsidies to help many afford the premiums. It would bar insurance companies from denying coverage to people with medical problems or charging them more. The expected price tag is around $1 trillion over 10 years.
