Healthcare Reform Information

Below is a link to the PowerPoint presentation from Tuesday, November 17, 2009. It gives a side-by-side comparison of the 3 proposed plans for health care reform. Since that time, the two Senate plans have been combined and were released Thursday, November 19 as a single Senate bill. The links to both that Senate bill and the House bill are provided. As we have an opportunity to read the bill, we will update the PowerPoint to reflect the new Senate version.
