Baucus Bill: Help Is On the Way
Health economists and academics writing in the New York Times weigh in on how to improve the health care overhaul plan introduced this week by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus. Suggestions range from adding more stringent regulatory reforms to making affordable health insurance coverage more accessible.
