So What Exactly Is in This Bill?

There’s been so much focus on the Public Option that I’ve been thinking that a lot of people don’t really have a clear sense of what’s in the rest of the legislation.

Frankly, I have this great insight into the august TPM readership because frankly, I’ve had a hard time remembering just what’s in all these bills beside the public option. Needless to say there are substantial differences between the House and Senate bills. Still, they have broad commonalities.

So today I had Brian Beutler help me out by explaining just what’s in this legislation. What are the new regs? What are these exchange things? Helped me a lot. You should read it too.
