Healthcare legislation is quickly picking up momentum in Washington. Three
separate committees in the House of Representatives are hard at work hammering
out details of a bill. Votes are planned today in the Education and Labor and
Ways and Means committees on a plan that majority House Democrats presented this
week. The legislation seeks to provide coverage to nearly all Americans by
subsidizing the poor and penalizing individuals and employers who don't purchase
health insurance.
Meanwhile, the Senate Health committee on Wednesday approved its own version of
a bill. Their plan sets up a government-run insurance system to compete with
private insurers, and like the House, requires many employers to provide
insurance for their workers or face penalties and requires individuals to
purchase their own insurance.
Each proposal carries an estimated price tag of about $1 Trillion over the next
decade. And that figure will probably balloon says Rep. Ron Paul. "They've never
been right on projections of medical programs," referring to his colleagues in
Congress, "they're always off by 100%, 200%. It always costs a lot more."
