...controversy resurfaced in July with the publication of a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) in which researchers analyzed more than 19,000 patients who participated in clinical trials involving treatments for a variety of cancers.

...minimum benefit package, in addition to setting standards for coverage, is also intended to bend that all-important curve of overall health-care costs. Federal subsidies given to individuals to buy insurance, which could be applied to plans only if they are purchased in the exchange, would not equal more than the cost of a minimum benefit package. If individuals want to purchase plans that are more expensive, they would be free to do so but would have to pay more out of pocket. Employers whose workers buy coverage through the exchange, under the House plan, would contribute at least...
