Research Notes on Kennedy Influence on Obama Health Care Bill
Senator Edward Kennedy worked on President Barack Obama's health care plan even prior to his inauguration. He held regular meetings with interest groups in an attempt to create a bill that has broad support to avoid repeating President Bill Clinton's failed health care rework from the 1990s.1 Obama has said publicly that providing affordable coverage available to every American would cost up to $65 billion annually. He's also said it would cost an additional $250 billion over five years to computerize the nation's health records.1 Kennedy died on August 25, 2009 as the bill was hotly debated by politicians and the public alike.
Fast Facts:
- Obama's health care reform plan would require that all children receive health insurance.2
- This plan would also mandate that employers offer coverage to all of their employees.2
- Senator Ron Wyden has also proposed a health care bill that does not require employers provide insurance, but focuses mainly on private insurance plans.2
