Achieving comprehensive health reform has emerged as a leading priority of the President and Congress. President Obama has outlined eight principles for health reform, seeking to address not only the 45 million people who lack health insurance, but also rising health care costs and lack of quality. In Congress, a number of comprehensive reform proposals have been announced as the debate begins over how to overhaul the health care system.

This interactive side-by-side compares the leading comprehensive reform proposals across a number of key characteristics and plan components. Included in this side-by-side are proposals for moving toward universal coverage that have been put forward by the President and Members of Congress. In an effort to capture the most important proposals, we have included those that have been formally introduced as legislation as well as those that have been offered as principles or in White Paper form. This side-by-side will be regularly updated to reflect changes in the proposals and to incorporate major new proposals as they are announced.

This appears to be an outstanding way to see the different proposals offered.

I do not know the ideology of the Kaiser Foundation, so it may or may not be a reliable institution.

I will say this for them: one of their stories on their home page says:

"White House Reform Chief Was On Boards of Health Companies With Suspect Practices"

So it appears they are not afraid to stand up to B.O.

“White House Reform Chief Was On Boards of Health Companies With Suspect Practices”
Can't be true. Obama heads the most transparent administration in history. No lobbyists in his administration. No earmarks. None of that.

And once again comes legislation telling the states what to do and how to do it. If we are going to have state legislators that are employees of the federal government, who speaks for me? When is enough, enough?
