President Carter plans a phased nationwide health insurance program named HealthCare that would guarantee identical benefits to all Americans, cover hospital, physician, drug, lab, and mental health costs, and protect against bankruptcy from serious illness. The plan envisions private insurers competing with a federal program, with mandatory employer premiums starting at 50 percent and rising to 75 percent as the system expands, and would curb fee levels for hospitals and doctors.
