Senator Carl Levin (D-Michigan) says he has a number of problems with the latest health care bill to emerge in the Senate.
The health care bill unveiled yesterday by Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana) is considered to be the most moderate of the five proposals floating around on Capital Hill.
But according to Senator Carl Levin, the bill still needs some work.
"It's got a number of problems in it, including some pretty significant premium costs for people," Levin said. "And I'm also worried that it may, unwittingly and unintentionally, lead to some employers dropping the health care that they currently provide for their employees."
Levin said the final health care proposal must guarantee coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.
He also said it should provide stability for people who have health insurance and extend coverage to those who don't.
