The Democrats' bill would be financed by about $500 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, as well as new taxes on high-income earners. Employers and individuals who don't buy coverage would also be required to pay fines.
Paying for the legislation is a key difference between the House and Senate measures. While the House bill would tax families making more than $1 million a year, the Senate's would tax insurers offering high-value plans.
