Democratic lawmakers in the coming year likely would seek to "close the gap" between those with health insurance and for those who lack coverage, plus reduce inequalities between higher- and lower-income U.S. residents, the Wall Street Journal reports. According to the Journal, "some Democrats would still drool over proposals for government health insurance for all," but anyway others "prefer piecemeal approaches." For example, one proposal will provide tax credits to companies with as many as 100 employees to help purchase health insurance policy for employees through a pool sponsored by the federal government and modeled after the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
