Good Analysis of Health Care Bills?
Does anyone know of any websites that are giving good even handed analysis of the health care bills that have passed the House and the Senate? So far I am not really fond of either bill; however, I would like to do some research on the bill to see if my thoughts about the bills are accurate.

4. There was another thread yesterday on it. Also, keep in mind
this is not the FINAL bill. We won't have that one until the end of January.

5. True - I'd like to see an analysis of the House and Senate bills, though
I don't see the Senate bill on the Kaiser site yet. Even if we can't know yet what the final bill is going to include, we'd at least be able to compare the two bills which will be used to create it, yes?

6. The Healthy Americans Act
Never made it to the floor of either house. But, there are MANY who wonder why. It might be interesting for you to look at the comparisons of these bills against a bill that accomplishes universal coverage AND fiscal responsibility, without political tricks. Read about the Healthy Americans Act here:
