Kaiser Family Foundation's Health Reform Comparison Tool Now Reflects Proposal From Senate Finance Committee (Chairman's Mark)

The Foundation's interactive side-by-side health reform comparison tool now includes details from the proposal from the Senate Finance Committee, also known as the Chairman’s Mark, which will be considered by the committee next week. With the update, the online tool allows users to compare any or all of 12 different plans, including the plans approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and by the three House committees with responsibilities for health reform (H.R. 3200, America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, also known as the House Tri-Committee bill).

Users can choose which proposals to compare, as well as specific characteristics about those proposals, including coverage, cost containment and financing. The tool also allows users to print out the comparison of all the plans together. The Foundation will continue to update the tool to reflect major new proposals and any significant changes to the plans already introduced.

These updated resources are available on the Foundation’s health reform gateway page which features the Foundation’s research, analysis and polling on health reform issues, insights from Kaiser President and CEO Drew Altman; and news summaries from Kaiser Health News, an editorially independent news service established by the Foundation.
