Hillary Clinton's Health Plan

Hillary Clinton's web site describes her 'American Health Choices Plan' as affordable, available and reliable. The plan is to cover ALL Americans and improve health care quality while decreasing expenses.

How will Hillary's Health Plan ensure affordable health insurance coverage for every American?

• Provide Tax Relief: working families get a refundable tax credit to assist in acquiring high quality coverage
• Create Small Business Tax Credit: health care tax credit for small businesses will offer incentive for employee based coverage
  
• Limit Premium Payments to a Percentage of Income: refundable tax credit will prevent premiums from exceeding a set percentage of family's income
  
• Start a Retiree Health Legacy Initiative: to offset a substantial portion of catastrophic expenditures, a new tax credit for qualifying public and private retiree health insurance plans
• Strengthen Medicaid and CHIP: plan will fix problems with safety net to protect most vulnerable members of American society

The plan would allow Americans to select a plan from the same Health Care Menu offered to members of Congress, or keep your current plan.
