Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan

When talking about health care the American people are offered two extremes - higher taxes because of government run health care or letting the insurance companies operate without rules. My self and Joe Biden believe both of these extremes are wrong, and that’s why we have proposed a plan that strengthens employer coverage, makes insurance companies less powerful over coverage and ensures the patient choice of doctor and their health care without the government interfering.

My and Joe Biden`s plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans, builds on the existing health care system, and uses existing providers, doctors and plans to start the plan. Under this plan, patients will be able to make health care decisions with their doctors, instead of having to go with the inchurence companies decsion.
Under the plan, if you like your current health insurance, nothing changes, except your costs will go down by as much as $2,500 per year.
If you don’t have health insurance, you will have a choice of new, affordable health insurance options.

Require insurance companies to cover all benefits at fair and stable costs.
We will create a new Small Business Health Tax Credit to help small businesses provide affordable health insurance to their employees.

We will create lower costs for businesses by covering a portion of the expensive health costs they pay in return for lower costs for employees.

We will prevent insurers from overcharging doctors for their malpractice insurance (incase they make a mistake) and invest in proven strategies to reduce preventable medical errors.
