Health care as we have known it is changing. It's hard to read a newspaper or visit a news site without seeing a headline on this highly charged topic. Health care reform involves everyone: old and young, wealthy and poor, doctors, hospitals, insurers, and legislators. It involves you. So it's important to be informed about the changes and issues, and of their possible effects on your future health and well-being.

Where to begin? Look for reliable information from independent sources. Web search engines like Google and Yahoo can get you started. Independent review sites such as FactCheck.org research the rhetoric and post information to tell you if those campaign proposals and claims are factual or not.

The need for change is being discussed on many fronts, from state governments and business groups to public policy organizations. See what is under discussion:

Government organizations such as The National Governors Association.
Employer groups such as the National Business Group on Health.
Independent organizations that research health policy, such as The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

It's in everyone's interest to help the system work better. Individuals, businesses, doctors and hospitals, and health insurers all have a role to play. One approach is Consumerism: This white paper examines whether or not it might be the health care silver bullet.

You'll find more about the health insurance industry point of view on the America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) policy site, as well as the Campaign for an American Solution site.

AHIP also has helpful general information about all kinds of health plans, so you can understand the differences and make an informed choice at enrollment time. Learn more
