As the national debate on health care policy picks up steam, we're going to be inundated with a lot more noise and flashing lights. To make good decisions and have well-informed opinions, we need to get past the sound and fury to find good information.
Here are a few resources I've found helpful. I hope you will too.
Health Reform page at the Kaiser Family Foundation, with multimedia content, polls and more in-depth research.
Health Issues page at Rand Corporation, offering briefs, fact sheets and other short reports to members of Congress.
Health page at the National Conference of State Legislatures, with updates on how states are tackling the problem of rising health costs and rising uninsurance rates.
Health Reform Resource Center at the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute's PolicyWorks site, which looks at the issues from the point of view of health care workers. The workforce development angle!
Whenever legislation is finally introduced, you'll be able to follow it on OpenCongress.org, most likely on the Health page.
Readers, if you know of other resources with good data and information to help inform the health care policy debate, please share them!
