« Texan Democrats survive Denny's. | Home | Migrant workers sent home $80 billion last year. »

Howard Dean announces his health plan.

Doctor Dean released his health care proposals. They make sense, as you may expect coming from a doctor, and would cover nearly all Americans at a reasonable cost.

Extending Medicaid to every child and young adult under 25, up to three times the poverty level. It will also require employer health plans to extend coverage to dependents up to age 25.

Expanding coverage to working families who earn up to 185% of the federal poverty level.

Allowing those with incomes above that level, as well as small businesses, to buy into a health plan similar to the plan for government employees, while providing tax credits to keep insurance affordable.

Limiting tax deductions and government contracts for large companies which do not extend health benefits to their employees.

Read the complete speech on his Dean for America web site. He even has an official blog, the Howard Dean 2004 Call To Action.
