Quoting from the article:

Highlights of the amendment include the following:

* Patients go to any doctor or hospital of their choice.

* Comprehensive benefits, including coverage for dental, mental health, and prescription drugs.

* …the plan saves at least $400 billion annually

* Community health centers are fully funded, giving the 60 million Americans now living in rural and underserved areas access to care.

* …provides resources for the National Health Service Corps to train an additional 24,000 health professionals.

* …modest new payroll and income taxes amounting to less than what most businesses and people now pay for insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.
