Health reform plan pledges broad coverage and subsidies
The White House health reform blueprint promises universal affordable coverage with subsidies aimed at small businesses and low wage workers. It envisions regional alliances, employer and worker premium shares, taxes on cigarettes and possibly alcohol, and subsidies for families below 150 percent of poverty. Early retirees over 55 would get employer subsidies, with caps on employer contributions and premiums adjusted by age and health status.
