Details on Healthcare Bill

I don't read that fast, but here is a my summary based on reading the Wonk Room's summaries:

• Bill won't really phase in until 2013 (stupid, you need the benefits to become apparent sooner, rather than later).
• Adds a high risk pool for the time between the enactment and when the benefits kick in.
  
• Public option is not the "strong" (based on Medicare reimbursement) option.
• Requires large (how large?) employers to provide health insurance.
• Makes the medicare doctor reimbursement permanent, eliminating the annual reimbursement rate Kabuki in the Congress.
• Kills insurer antitrust exemption.

It's better than anything likely to come out of the Senate.
