New Resources from Capitol Hill
2009 June 10
New documents circulating on Capitol Hill over the last few days provide health reform advocates helpful information on the process and the content of national health reform.
- On June 5th, a document described as a “draft of a draft” of “Quality, Affordable Health Care for All Americans,” the Senate HELP Committee’s comprehensive health reform bill, was leaked to policy analysts and political bloggers. Our partners, Community Catalyst, released this summary of the draft bill which highlights the HELP committee’s policy proposals on Insurance Reform, Insurance Exchanges, and Affordability Provisions.
- Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein published “Exclusive: Senate Finance Committee’s Heath Care Timeline” which also includes insight on the Senate HELP Committee’s and the House of Representatives’ respective timetables for health reform. Klein’s outline is based on an internal memo that he received from a member of the Senate Finance Committee.
