President Barack Obama wants to give the federal government new powers to reduce the maximum rate is too high for companies health insurance in the country, an official of the White House said Sunday evening – a proposal to woo Obama voters also expressed skepticism about the laws of health insurance for the first time on Monday.
The bipartisan bill on Thursday before a summit of health care, Obama seeks to face the wrath of voters in the last two digits increase by Anthem Blue Cross of California and shows that this plan is designed to protect states and vulnerable States , whether by insurance and those who seek to win.
Proposed new federal powers to curb the rise in premiums was not included in the version of health reform by the House and Senate last year, although the rest of the bill Obama likely to choose the most popular of its project to build a compromise proposal that could unite the Liberal party’s moderate and cry together.
The White House declined to provide details on the plan before Obama announced Monday, while Obama has promised to send the laws of your line for voters to read before the summit on Thursday.
The proposal also has populist appeal – Obama has taken the large insurance companies – which can suppress the Republican Party in March, although Democrats have denounced the efforts of health reform as a “big government takes” system and, generally resist any government attempt to give a greater role in the market for private insurance.
Obama’s proposal would give Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, a new power to examine the increase in premiums for private insurance companies – and in some cases, the blocks that are considered excessive. Anthem rate rose to 39 percent in recent weeks has drawn attention to the astronomical cost of more health insurance, the cost is committed to fight against Obama, when he made reform of the health care track the ‘last year.
Obama’s plan will create a new board composed of experts from insurance, determining what is reasonable premium increases each year in various markets, and the Secretary of HHS will also work with state officials said the house White. The proposal was first in the New York Times.
In announcing the bill Monday, Obama also seemed intended to put pressure on the Republic to demonstrate that they have a solution to soaring costs of health care, leads to the summit on Thursday.
White House urges Republicans had begun to send the invoice line – clever tactics by the White House in Republican ideas for the spread of reform in some parts of the legislation, or are far from Democratic Party to achieve the 31 million uninsured Americans. The main proposal of the House Republicans, for example, include more than 3 million Americans.
But somehow Obama’s primary audience of his own party, where efforts by Democrats to draft compromise legislation was unstable at the rear of the victory of Senator Scott Brown, Massachusetts.
The White House said the bill Obama will be designed to reconciliation – with a 51-vote Democratic majority, a move that Republicans say the anger that Obama is cutting his own summit with Republican plans to close if necessary.
