Health Care Reform: Comparing House and Senate Versions
Interview: Aaron Carroll, MD, MS, associate professor of pediatrics
Director, Center of Health Policy and Professionalism Research
Indiana University School of Medicine

As one senator recently was quoted as saying that by the time President Obama has something to sign, there may be Christmas carolers serenading on the White House lawn.
Back with us to sort out where things stand is Dr. Aaron Carroll, Sound Medicine’s health-care policy analyst as this legislation makes its way through Congress.
