This is pretty cool. The Kaiser Family Foundation, which runs KaiserNetwork (where you can view daily updates in health policy, HIV/AIDS, Womens Health and Health Disparities, or have them emailed to you) and KaiserEDU (where you can learn the 101's of various health reform issues) just released a new website -- the Kaiser Health Reform Gateway, which presents all of the following in an aesthetically pleasing manner:

* An interactive tool for comparing major health care reform proposals...
* A new, interactive Web-based timeline that chronicles key events and noteworthy activities in health reform from the early 1900s through today.
* A series of Explaining Health Care Reform Briefs providing an overview of key topics and concepts being discussed in health reform efforts. The initial three Briefs explore "what is health insurance", "what is an employer pay or play requirement", and "what are health insurance exchanges".
* A glossary providing simple, straightforward definitions of key terms to assist in understanding the concepts included in health reform proposals.

More avenues for empowerment on the health care reform front!
