Jersey Congressman Frank Pallone Says Legislation Creating Healthcare Reform That Would Cover Every American May Be Introduced Soon


Pallone, Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, says the problem right now is that health insurance costs too much.


"The reason why people can't afford it is because they can't buy an affordable policy. If you have these large group plans, both private and public, through the Federal government, costs would be maybe half of what they are now," says Pallone


Pallone and members of the Health Care for America Now Coalition held a news conference Thursday at the in Trenton.


Pallone says a lot of the groups that have opposed this type of plan in the past are on board this time around because they believe if we continue with the system that we have it will get even more expensive and more people will not be able to afford healthcare.
