Insurance Companies Propose Universal Health Care Plan

Boston (dbTechno) - Health insurance companies, represented by the trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans, have put out a proposal for universal health care in the U.S.

The group has offered their own universal health care proposal and wants Congress to put it into motion.

America’s Health Insurance Plans is calling on Congress to try and cut health care costs over the next 5 years by 30%.

They believe that with the money saved, hundreds of billions of dollars, it could be used to help those who do not have health insurance.

The group is trying to get Congress to fix three key areas in order to help spark this.

They want Congress to cut down on spending that is not needed, fix the payment system to doctors, and cut down on costs from the administrative standpoint.

The group last month stated that they supported universal health care.

They would offer people health insurance no matter what their pre-existing condition was under one condition.

That condition would be that health insurance would have to be mandated.

We will have to see how this all turns out and how president-elect Barack Obama responds.
