Sen Kennedy Praises Proposal

A new proposal unveiled that proposes universal health care has been praised by senator Kennedy. The proposal came from the health insurance industry. America’s Health Insurance Plans or AHIP has offered this proposal. This proposal follows the proposal by Max Baucus on these lines as well. Sen Ted Kennedy, D- Mass has pledged to move quickly on this issue the next year.

The focus of the AHIP health care plan is to reduce growth of health care expenses across America by 30 percent. If this target is achieved then expenditures would reduce by over 500 bn between 2010 and 2014. There is a greater sense of optimism after the announcement.
Mostly, insurers agree that universal health care is necessary. The AHIP trade group comprises of Aetna, Humana, Wellpoint, Cigna and UnitedHealth among others. Among the proposals is that a public-private advisory group would find ways to cut spending. Lets hope these measures work out and we get a leaner, meaner and fitter insurance system.
