Can anyone explain what this means for US people? Is this like the NHS for the UK where everyone pays health insurance so that hospital bills and visits to the doctors are covered such as major operations etc?

Kinda... except where National Insurance doesn't actually go directly to health care in the UK, this insurance payment will go directly to funding your health treatment. Well, via the insurance companies and their shareholders, but you get the general idea.

As for CNN - they're awful, so is Fox. For all their apparent 'liberal' bias, the broadcast networks at least don't do this crap. 24 hour news channels are basically blogs with budget.
