Just over a week ago, the Democratic National Committee voted to approve a platform that guarantees all Americans access to affordable health insurance. According to the platform, Democrats are committed to the idea that every American adult and child should have access to affordable, comprehensive health care. With the plan, financial assistance would be provided through tax credits and other means. Once affordable health coverage is made available, individuals should take the next step by purchasing health insurance and making healthy lifestyle choices. The platform would also provide financial assistance for small businesses, making it easier for them to provide group health insurance to employees. Although no specific strategies have been announced, the plan will continue to be discussed for final approval at the Democratic National Convention in Denver Colorado at the end of August.
