The Health Care bill that has been passed onto congress is a combination of 2 diffrent bills drafted by congress. The health care reform bill is 2,074 pages and will cost $849 billion over the next 10 years. Unlike the House version, the Senate bill does not mandate that all employers offer health care. Only Businesses with more than 50 workers, would face a penalty of $750 for every full-time employee if it does not offer health care to. The bill would not cover illegal immigrants and would prohibit the use of federal funds for abortion coverage. The vote is planned to take place this Saturday, but the GOP is threatening with a filibuster, so the democrats need over 60 votes to override the filibuster and carry on with the voting process.
