    New Proposal for Healthcare?

    I understand that the new proposal does not have any provision for charging anyone for not having healthcare? Did I hear that right?

    I've never heard of anyone being charge for not having healthcare. Maybe you meant health insurance?

    I heard that instead of a tax penalty, there is a penalty for not having insurance coverage that you have to pay to the insurance company. Cuts out the government middleman.

    Did I hear right that Congress members aren't covered by the plan they think is great for everyone else?

      Folks this proposal will NOT even resemble what comes out of the senate. Once a viable bill gets out of the senate for reconciliation with the house, that is the point I will start paying close attention. I have a feeling that this will not get done before the mid term elections.

        They never have been. They are all covered by Civil Service health care like most government employees. So they have no (personal) dog in this fight.
