This report is an analysis of health reform legislation currently under consideration in the Senate. The analysis posits a consolidated measure combining elements of both the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee and Senate Finance Committee bills. A combination of both bills could expand health insurance coverage and investments in community health centers, while producing savings of $369 billion for the entire health care system and $105 billion for the federal portion of Medicaid over the next decade.
The report was authored by Leighton Ku, Peter Shin and Sara Rosenbaum.
