The administration estimates the national health insurance would limit individual medical costs to 1500 dollars per year with a monthly premium near 6.56 dollars for a single earner and about 19.32 dollars for most workers with families. Provisions vary by plan and employer contributions may cover full premiums. The package also expands coverage to routine dental, maternity care, child care, glasses, hearing aids, and some mental health and prescription costs. Medicare would extend to the same group with added benefits.
