Issue Report: US health care reform

Support

Jonathan Cohn. “Andy Stern: Don’t Kill the Bill. Fix It.” The Plank, The Republic. December 18, 2009: “The first reason to support the Senate health care bill is that it would provide insurance to 30 million more Americans.”

“A bill well worth passing.” New York Times Editorial. December 21, 2009: “There is a lot to like in the bill. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that it would cover more than 30 million of the uninsured and would, by 2019, result in 94 percent of all citizens and legal residents below Medicare age having health insurance. That is a big improvement from the current 83 percent.”
