Stuff only a health care wonk could love

Mon, 11/02/2009 - 3:22am — hipparchia

Timothy Jost is an extraordinarily readable health care wonk [I've borrowed from him before on Switzerland and the Netherlands] and he has a 3-part series on HR 3962 at the Health Affairs blog, if you're interested.


Part 1: The immediate changes, the ones that will happen before the storied 2013, like ending rescissions, extending COBRA, the new high risk pool, etc.

Part 2: The public option and the health insurance exchanges.

Part 3: The remaining 1600 pages. Medicare, Medicaid, public health, the Indian Health Service, FDA, prevention and wellness initiatives, repealing the anti-trust exemption [cosmetic changes only, Jost says], etc.

i made the part 1: part 2: part 3: in front of each of my [very] brief summaries into separate links for each of his 3 articles. are they not working? health affairs often disappears their articles behind a paywall, but not usually their blog posts.
