The article discusses the white papers on policy options released by U.S. Senate Finance Committee headed by Senator Max Baucus for the health care reform being pursued by U.S. President Barack Obama and other Democrats. This legislation is believed to give Americans affordable, high-quality healthcare and the freedom to choose the doctor or health plan they want. Issues on the creation of an electronic medical record, investing in expanded comparative effectiveness studies, and the new public health insurance options are analyzed.
