- Abstract:
- This report provides an overview of key provisions of the two comprehensive health reform bills passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. While the general frameworks of the bills are very similar--both include provisions intended to improve and expand coverage and all would create a comprehensive and coherent strategy for improving health care quality--they differ in a few key respects. Most important, the Senate bill does not include a requirement that employers offer coverage or create a public health insurance plan; the House bill includes both features.
