June 18, 2010 Updated Jul 2, 2009 at 12:05 PM EST WASHINGTON (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Democrats on a key U.S. Senate committee are circulating details of a revised health care plan. It includes a government-backed insurance option, and a fee on employers if they don't offer coverage to workers. The plan comes to a net cost of more than $600 billion over the next decade, which is far less than an earlier estimate of 1 trillion dollars. Officials say the plan will result in 97-percent of Americans having health coverage.
