The proposal will make health care more affordable, make health insurers more accountable, expand health coverage to all Americans, and make the health system sustainable, stabilizing family budgets, the Federal budget and the economy:
- It makes insurance more affordable by providing the largest middle-class tax cut for health care in history, reducing premium costs for tens of millions of families and small-business owners who are priced out of coverage today. This helps 32 million Americans afford health care who do not get it today--and makes coverage more affordable for many more. Under the plan, 95 percent of Americans will be insured.
- It sets up a new competitive health insurance market giving millions of Americans the same choices of insurance that members of Congress will have.
- It brings greater accountability to health care by laying out common sense rules of the road to keep premiums down and prevent insurance industry abuses and denial of care.
- It will end discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions.
- It puts our budget and economy on a more stable path by reducing the deficit by more than $100 billion over the next ten years--and more than $1 trillion over the second decade--by cutting government overspending and reining in waste, fraud and abuse.
