2009 Federal Health Reform Resources
As the debate over national health reform heats up this summer, learn how HR 3200, the bill currently before the US House of Representatives, meshes with CMS’ principles for health reform and its pros and cons from medicine’s perspective. We also have links to the Energy & Commerce Committee’s Web site (for a summary of the bill and all amendments), House GOP and Democrat Web sites (for their takes on the bill), “Frequently Asked Questions” from AMA and more.
