Nancy Pelosi the House speaker emphasized her push for a public run health insurance plan that has separated democrats, stating that it could save huge amounts of money. According to the Wall Street Journal Congressional supporters said including a government plan for people under the age of 65 in the health insurance reform could save as much as $200 billion, if this plan were to pay for health care providers the low rates used by Medicare. The House Speaker is speeding up efforts to develop a consensus bill that would mend committee versions passed during the summer. The main decision is how to pinch the cost of the bill and ensure the legislation doesn’t increase the deficit over the long term. What are your though on a public run health care system and a universal health insurance plan?
