Senator takes initiative on healthcare
New York Times, November 13, 2008
U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus has unveiled a plan that would guarantee health insurance for all Americans. This would be done by sales of private insurance, expansion of Medicaid and Medicare, and requiring most employers to provide health benefits. The plan would eventually require everyone to have health insurance coverage.
