Democrats predict health care bill passage this year

The plan would expand coverage, require insurance, and slow medical spending.

Policy changes may raise premiums under universal health plan
Analysts say Obama’s plan to cover all Americans and bar denial of coverage could raise costs for individuals. Insurers would face higher costs, likely passed to customers, with typical family premiums rising by up to 780 dollars in year one. Employers may absorb part of the rise, while preventive care promises long term savings. Experts differ on overall impact, and lawmakers have not settled on a single plan.
