Summary of Health Reform Issues
Two foundations have recently released policy briefs intended to provide objective summaries of some of the key issues in health reform and the proposed reform plans. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Key Issues in Health Reform address's the role of the Federal Government, the lowering of Medicare spending, and Advanced Care Planning. The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation's Focus on Health Reform provides side-by-side comparisons of the leading reform proposals. The Kaiser Foundation anticipates updating this document as these proposals are revised during the health reform debate.
