Health Reform Policy Analyses

Are you interested in health policy? Do you want to stay abreast of health policy reform legislation?

George Washington University's Hirsh Health Law and Policy Program at the School of Public Health and Health Services have created the National Health Reform Law and Policy Project. This project provides comparative analyses and summaries of the major pieces of health reform legislation in the 111th Congress.

The Project will track health policy reform legislation from legislation through and into implementation. Before preparing the analyses, GWUMC faculty and staff worked with experts in health care policy and management to determine which questions should be asked when considering health care policy and legislation. The Project uses these questions to frame their analyses.

The National Health Reform Law and Policy Project includes:

• A user's guide to navigating project contents
• A taxonomy that identifies the major themes guiding the comparative legislative analysis
• Comparative legislative tables showing provisions in each analyzed proposal and viewable independently or comparatively (side by side)
• Comprehensive summaries of each proposal and links to the actual legislation
