6/7/2004: Kerry Proposal Might Cut Health Insurance Premiums (The Washington Post; subscription may be required)

Excerpt: At the center of Kerry's ideas is his proposal to have the federal government reimburse employers 75 percent of medical bills over $50,000 that a worker runs up in a year. The reimbursement would, in effect, make the government a secondary insurer and ease costs for employers, workers and private insurers.
