Insurers embrace Obama health plan, but take exception to required employer contributions
12/03/08
From the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON - The insurance industry embraced many of President-elect Barack Obama's ideas for better health care coverage Wednesday, though it opposes a key piece of his plan to require employers to help pay for that coverage.
The industry said it opposes Obama's plan to require medium-sized and large employers to contribute to their workers' health coverage or pay a percentage of their payroll for operation of a national, public insurance plan.
