WASHINGTON -- Government experts say some middle-class families would still face a big budget hit for health care, even with the new help that Democrats want to provide.
A family of four making $66,000 could face a total health care bill of $10,000 -- counting premiums, copayments and deductible -- under the House Democratic health care bill, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday. And that's after counting $10,500 in government assistance.
The estimates apply to people purchasing their own coverage, not those in employer plans.
