Health Care Reform Explained on the Back of a Napkin
Posted by Matt Johnson on Tue, Aug 18, 2009 @ 07:55 AM
The nation's water coolers (including ours here at HealthBridge HQ) are buzzing with health care reform discussion. Every day we have clients and caregivers ask us how health care reform will affect them and the seniors they care for. Nailing down an answer to that question is like nailing jell-o to the wall.
You've got to hand it to Dan Roam. He has an incredible knack for explaining complex topics in pictures. Simple pictures. Back of the napkin kind of simple pictures.
In the presentation below, Dan and Dr. Tony Jones have put the debate into perspective.
While I think Dan's presentation is brilliantly simple, like most coverage of the health care reform debate, it's missing a big question: How will reform affect those who already have a "government option"?
Medicare is super popular amongst our senior car clients. Frankly, most of them aren't too keen to change and certainly don't want to pick up the tab by reducing benefits. How will reform address their concerns?
Well, what did you think? How will health care reform affect you and the people you care for? Please send us a note or leave a comment below.
