Health-Care Bill Almost There

A new-health care bill could emerge from the Senate as early as this week, containing a measure that would penalize employers who don't provide coverage to workers. The Wall Street Journal reported that the bill could reach the Congressional Budget Office for analysis Monday and be made public Tuesday. The bill would create a public-health plan, but would allow states to opt out of participation. The bill would make health-care coverage available to tens of millions of Americans who are without it now by giving subsidies to offset costs for many.
