This week in health care reform: time for Republicans to put up or shut up.

White House will release its health bill at 10 a.m. Monday


By Michael O'Brien

The White House will release its healthcare bill online at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

According to an email sent Sunday night to reporters, President Barack Obama will release his health reform plan after briefing reporters on it earlier Monday morning.

The legislation's release comes before a highly-anticipated bipartisan summit on Thursday that will bring House and Senate leaders from both parties to Blair House to try and hash out compromises on reform efforts.

The bill will include a number of reforms, including proposing the ability for the administration to block increases in insurance rates it considers excessive, according to a preliminary report of the bill's contents by the New York Times.
