SOME DETAILS OF FINAL HOUSE BILL

House Democratic leaders hope to approve the Senate bill along with a separate 153-page package of revisions to that bill that House members are demanding. The compromise would extend coverage to an additional 32 million Americans over the next decade by expanding Medicaid eligibility and creating state-run insurance exchanges and federal subsidies for lower-income families who lack access to employer-provided coverage. Here's a look at details of the House Democrats' final bill:

NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL AMERICANS

All Americans would be required to obtain insurance or face an annual penalty of $695; employers could face penalties of $2,000 per worker for not offering affordable coverage.

EXPANDED COVERAGE

With changes made by the reconciliation bill, 32 million uninsured Americans will be covered by a health plan, the Congressional Budget Office said. That means that 92 percent of all residents, or 95 percent excluding illegal immigrants, would have insurance in 2019, the nonpartisan agency said.

RULES FOR INSURERS

In exchange for the new business, private insurers would be subject to an array of rules. Starting this year, insurers could not deny coverage to children because of a pre-existing health problem, nor could they place lifetime dollar limits on the amount of coverage.

FOR FAMILIES

Millions of families with incomes up to $88,000 a year would receive government help to defray their insurance costs. Adult children would be permitted to stay on their parents' policies until age 26.

FOR SENIORS

It would fully close the "doughnut hole" -- a gap in the Medicare prescription drug program that is costly for many seniors -- beginning with a $250 rebate for those affected this year.

TAX ON WEALTHY

To help pay for increased benefits, the legislation would increase the Medicare payroll tax 0.9 percentage point, to 2.35 percent, on wages above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. In a change sought by the White House, beginning in 2013, a new 3.8 percent tax would be imposed on interest, dividends, capital gains and other investment income for individuals making more $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000.

SPECIAL DEALS

• Provides an additional $8.5 billion over the next decade for 11 states and the District of Columbia to help them pay for the more generous Medicaid assistance they have been providing to low-income residents. These states are Arizona, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

• Maintains provision giving extra money for hospitals and doctors in North and South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.

• Eliminates Cornhusker Kickback, a provision that would give only Nebraska $100 million in added Medicaid assistance.
