KEITH HENNESSEY LOOKS AT REGIONAL INEQUITIES IN HEALTH CARE REFORM. “In the pending health care bills, low-income individuals and families who buy health insurance outside employment will get large government subsidies. Those subsidies vary by locale. This represents a significant implicit policy decision with enormous distributional and political consequences. I don’t think most Members or their constituents have focused on this. I think they should. . . . Do Members of Congress understand the massive distributional policy choice they are making by supporting these bills? I’ll bet most of them don’t.” Plus a list of winners and losers, by locality.
