Health Care Reform - Congressional Documents Reveal Health Costs

Kaiser Health News has obtained documents prepared by the House Ways and Means Committee that illustrate how the House Tri-Committee Health Reform Bill (America's Affordable Health Choices Act) will affect premium and cost-sharing maximums for low- and moderate-income families and individuals. Under this plan, premiums will be drastically reduced and out-of-pocket limits will decline. The documents only list families whose incomes are up to four times the federal poverty level: $88,200. These are the people who would be eligible for government subsidies.

The documents can be seen at: http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2009/September/04/House-Bill-Premiums.aspx#Families
