Connecting the National Health Reform Summit to Texas Children - Thursday, February 25, 2010
With Washington's National Health Reform Summit in the news, the Obama administration and Congressional Republicans have offered their plans for health reform. In an earlier newsroom post, we summarized differences in the Senate and House health bills, so with new proposals on the table we again offer a round-up of resources for understanding what health reform would mean for Texas children and families:
  • The Georgetown Center for Children and Families has put together a fact sheet on key provisions for low- and middle-income families in the president's health reform plan, and has posts about the summit and the president's plan on its blog Say Ahhh!
  • The Center for Public Policy Priorities held its Webinar: Update on Health Reform and Texas this week. The webinar recording is available for download on CPPP's site.
  • Kaiser Health News offers an illuminating chart of bipartisan ideas in proposed reform plans from the 1990's and today, and what the impact would be. Meanwhile, the Washington Post's Ezra Klein summarizes the Congressional Budget Office conclusions on what proposed reform would mean to the cost of families' health care premiums.
