Health care debate heats up

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Some folks urge lawmakers to slow down with the most recent health care proposal, concerned about the cost.

Others said the language of controversial topics like abortion coverage needs to be clearer.

Those in favor said this proposal keeps insurance companies from discriminating against those with pre-existing conditions while giving tax credits to small business owners.

In a statement to News 10, Representative Brad Ellsworth said he's still reviewing the plans details.

"I'm looking to see whether it meets my principles for reform," Ellsworth said. "It has to lower costs, provide more choice to consumers, cover pre-existing conditions, and not add one penny to the deficit."
