WASHINGTON – House Democrats are crafting a plan that would require all Americans to carry health insurance and would help families making less than $88,000 pay the premiums. Employers, too, would have to help foot the bill.
It's the latest development in President Barack Obama's push to fix the ailing U.S. health care system by getting the government more deeply involved.
Obama has said the final legislation must rein in costs, guarantee choice of health plans and medical providers, and ensure that all Americans have access to affordable coverage. But he's leaving it to Congress to work out the details.

Bend over for Barack Health Care. He will stick it to you whether you want it or not.....
They really do like to get their licks in.
Typically, if you make $88,003.00 you won’t get any help, but you will have to pay for it. Middle class people flogged hardest.
I’ve assumed all along that Obama will shove some type of national healthcare down our throats. My question is this:
If we take back the Congress and later the White House, is there anything that can be done to reverse it?
I keep hearing about how all these entitlements are mandatory and how we MUST keep funding them. WHY?
Why can’t we start to undo some of the damage that the progressives have inflicted on us for years?

Seriously, that's what it will take
\ Exactly. You have to have it, you just don't have to pay for it. Nice.
“Why can’t we start to undo some of the damage that the progressives have inflicted on us for years?”
Because it is more addictive than cocaine. Social Security was the first Socialist law enacted by Congress at Franklin D. Roosevelt’s request. Are you going to be able to undo it?
It’s the same with all the entitlements. Once you plant them they grow like weeds. Nope. Weed killer won’t work.
I think it must be that freedom is the delicate thing it’s been said to be. Once you kill it you can’t revive it. It’s dead.
A student was just kicked out of the graduate program at Eastern Michigan University for her beliefs about sexual orientation. She is being sent to “retraining” to change her attitude, just as they did in Soviet Russia and Communist China. Next come the gulags?
I hear you, but we have to work on reversing some of this stuff if we are to maintain our freedom.
Ask anyone in MA or from there, how this is working out there.
Probably better to call it death coverage. That would include everyone.

"Hey, it works for national defense. Which by the way, I'm going to recommend budget cuts for."
For the record ...
Now [2014] known as ObamaCare, it forced several millions of people OFF of their existing health care coverage plans ... and many of them then struggled to sign up for ObamaCare.
Hundreds of millions of dollars were wasted on ObamaCare computer programming that failed.
A few million “enrolled” in ObamaCare but actually in the form of Medicaid.
The leftists continue to conflate ObamaCare’s “health care *coverage*” into being “you are getting health care from a health care provider” -— making it sound like you’re getting medical care, when you are not.
