Obama's proposals rely heavily on government and mandates to make coverage affordable.
· Coverage would be mandatory for children.
· Offer an income-based federal subsidy for people who don't get insurance from an employer or qualify for government plans like Medicaid.
· Create a national network of public and private plans for those without other access to insurance.
· Require employers to either offer a plan, help pay for employee costs or pay into a national health care network.
