Now Under Construction in Congress:
An Important New Beginning in Health Reform

An Analysis and Action Guide (December 13, 2009)

In the next six to eight weeks, Congress will likely pass a massive health reform bill. Much remains uncertain about that billšs provisions. And, we can be certain, much that we once hoped for will be absent. But the bill will be historic, and we must ensure that the most desirable provisions in the texts being considered now remain in the final bill. For the first time ever, the federal government will tell the people that universal coverage is a public good that can be realized only with a tax funded health insurance program. Also, for the first time ever, the federal government will start regulating the health insurance industry, to put an end to its most brutal practices and to make it more accountable. Please click here to see the rest of the analysis and how you can help.

Your help is critical for getting the best bill we can get.
