You can access the complete text of Senator Baucus’s health care proposals here. (Click on “Call to Action” Complete Text for the 98-pg White Paper.)
Plan Sponsor has a good summary of the proposal here. Excerpt:
According to the “Call to Action” report, the foundation of Baucus’ plan is the creation of a nationwide insurance pool called the Health Insurance Exchange – a marketplace where Americans could easily compare and purchase the plans of their choice. Private insurers offering coverage through the Exchange would be precluded from discrimination based on pre-existing conditions.Premium subsidies would be available to qualifying families and small businesses. Baucus expects that the vast majority of American employers would continue to provide coverage as a competitive benefit to attract employees, so those who already have health coverage could choose to keep what they have.
Also, on the retirement plan front, the Wall Street Journal has this op-ed: “It’s Time to Rethink Our Retirement Plans.”
