Lewin contact: John Sheils

This report presents an independent comparative analysis of the proposed health plans of President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry. It was released on September 21, 2004, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The Lewin analysis centered on two key questions: How many people who currently lack health insurance would become covered under each candidate's program? How much money would each program cost the federal and state governments, consumers and other financial contributors over the 10-year span following implementation in 2006?
