For those interested in staying abreast of the developments in the US’ health financing reform, here are a few noteworthy sites for civic action:
- Side-by-side comparisons of the current bills, including Obama’s principles for what meaningful health care reform should include
- President Obama’s health care reform website
- Democrats Abroad there are a sprinkling of useful info and sites posted by overseas Americans. Expatriates in the Asia Pacific region have recently decided to open a google group to facilitate communication
- Change.gov White House updates on health care reform, with discussion forum
- Health care for America NOW group blog with civic action tools and contributors eg moveon.org and other civic organisations
Good sources of information:
- Nate Silver‘s blog. He analyses polling and political data. I find his site useful to triangulate with other info online.
- Kaiser Health News posts opeds and collects news from around the web regarding HCR
- Bill Moyers not restricted to HCR but very good intelligent discussions on it
- Health Care Blog group blog on all things health care
- Change.org group blog by activists, one of the topic areas covered is Universal Health Care
