The plan sets no targets. Taxes on employers offering lavish health benefits raise $16 billion a year to help pay for low-income family subsidies.
To pay most remaining subsidies, Cooper trims doctor and hospital fees by $6.5 billion a year–only a quarter of Clinton’s claimed cuts.
The poor and near poor receive subsidized coverage while employers must provide coverage for everyone else. Big new benefits for the elderly.
All employers, except subsidized small business, must pay 80 percent jof their employees’ insurance.
Clinton adds drug and home-health-care coverage, but slashes provider payments by $26 billion a year, a politically unrealistic goal.
