According to the AP:
Businesses would not be required to provide health insurance under legislation being readied for Senate debate, but large firms would owe significant penalties if any worker needed government subsidies to buy coverage on their own, according to Democratic officials familiar with talks on the bill.
I was very recently Debating with someone on whether it would be likely to see a personal mandate.... this article reads like that is very very likely
I must in the interest of full disclosure, state that i don't know who the sources are and i personaly am very doubtful of the validity of these claims.
the article claims sources as "Democrats" but it is also possible that this is the newest part of the misinformation champaign
this part however makes that seem unlikely:
It would expand coverage to millions who lack it, ban insurance industry practices such as denial of coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and slow the growth in medical spending nationally.
