Senate Democrats have unveiled a revised healthcare plan costing $600 billion, down from the $1 trillion price tag given earlier this year.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the plan would lead to health coverage for 97 percent of Americans, but it’s unclear how robust that coverage would be.
