DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) -- Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton will roll out a health care reform plan on Monday that would cost the federal government around $110 billion and require all Americans to have health insurance, Clinton campaign sources said.
The Clinton proposal will be unveiled during what was billed as a major health care policy speech in Iowa.
Under the plan, federal subsidies would be provided for those who are not able to afford insurance, and large businesses would be required to provide or help pay for their employees' insurance.
A Clinton adviser compares the plan's so-called "individual mandate" -- which requires everyone to have health insurance -- to current rules in most states that require all drivers to purchase auto insurance, according to The Associated Press.
