Public Health Care Plan Is Coming

According to the N. Y. Times Democratic leaders in both houses said they would require individuals to carry insurance and employers to help pay for it. But they have yet to decide how to raise the necessary tax revenue.

Leaders in both chambers said they wanted to establish a new public health insurance program, which would compete with private insurers. But they have not settled on the details.

In addition, it seems that much of the health insurance reform will aim at requiring al. Americans to purchase health insurance and forbidding Private insurance companies from denying coverage or jacking up the prices for those who are "high risk."

This is good news. But the fight is just beginning. The GOP, several conservative democrats, and the Health insurance industry will do everything they can to stop this reform. Let us hope that these powerful groups lose their battle against health care reform.
