House Health Bill Should Be A Model for The Senate

The House's health reform bill (H.R. 3962) should be a model for the final Senate bill in many ways, including that the Health Insurance Exchange is federally created and overseen, states cannot opt out of the public health insurance plan option, there are better consumer protections to promote transparency and accountability from health insurance companies, affordability protections are broader, there are more requirements for employer involvement, and financing is more progressive. One exception: the House bill's regressive language on abortion coverage.
