3 blogs in 3 days? Part Three

Health care. Like you haven't already heard enough. Well too bad. So apparently, health care just might be different in every state. The House's bill says states would also make a majority of the decisions varying from benefits to when to raise premiums. There would be a "national marketplace" for people without insurance and there would be a public option. The Senate's bill leaves almost every decision up to the states. Instead of a marketplace, every state would have an exchange. The Senate bill does not include a public option but Sen. Olympia Snowe wants to have a trigger, which would mean having a public option for states where private insurers don't offer affordable coverage for everyone.
