The Foundation has updated its interactive side-by-side health reform comparison tool to reflect the Senate bill as passed by the full Senate on Dec. 24. A separate interactive calculator helps to illustrate what assistance the uninsured would get with premiums under the House and Senate reform plans.

This interactive side-by-side compares the leading comprehensive reform proposals across a number of key characteristics and plan components. Included in this side-by-side are proposals for moving toward universal coverage that have been put forward by the President and Members of Congress. In an effort to capture the most important proposals, we have included those that have been formally introduced as legislation as well as those that have been offered as draft proposals or as policy options. It will be regularly updated to reflect changes in the proposals and to incorporate major new proposals as they are announced. This side-by-side offers a summary of the major components of these proposals.
