Obama's Health Care Speech tonight
Ok so I heard Obama's speech tonight, but I missed what he was saying about people who work for a small business/any business that does not offer health insurance...what kind of coverage is he offering for people like me that are healthy but are not having it offered by their jobs...and want a reasonable monthly cost. Thank you.

mine is not so much an answer, more of a reply to the below answer. I live in england, where we have the NHS- the national health service. Whenever we need an operation, etc, we dont pay, we just go to the hospital, they do it, we go home. Infact some hospitals PAY US for travel costs. OUr health service is not perfect, but it does not cost the tax payer HUGE AMOUNTS! its a rather good service, and not "substandard". Of course, the private healthcare option is available still, for the richer of people.

You will be required, by law, to have heathcare coverage. If you don't make enough money to pay for healthcare, then the gov't. will put you on the public option. It will be up to the gov't to decide if they think you make enough money or not. It will not be your choice.
Businesses will be forced to offer healthcare to their workers. If they don't, they will be subject to heavy fines. Most companies will just offer the public option because it will be cheaper.
Anything that is run by the government cannot be reasonably priced because of the huge bureaucracy that is, inevitably, created. It may start off cheap, but, in the end, it will cost every taxpayer, dearly. Any country that already has public healthcare has substandard care.
