WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address that "it’s time to deliver” on his health care agenda.
"If we do nothing, everyone’s health care will be put in jeopardy,” he said.
The first bill containing language to put in place his health care goals has begun circulating on Capitol Hill. Draft legislation from the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee would require employers to cover their employees or pay a penalty, and would guarantee coverage for all.
Congress still hasn’t figured out how to pay for a plan that could cost $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion or even more over a decade.
