This
week Senate lawmakers continued to debate numerous proposed amendments
to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) health care reform bill.

An
updated analysis by our parent company shows that, with the proposed
health care reform legislation, across- the-board premiums will
increase significantly for younger and healthier people who purchase
insurance on the individual market or through small employer groups.

This Week in Health Reform —Legislative Overview

Senate
Less
than two weeks after the debut of official legislative language, the
Senate began official debate on its $848 billion health care reform
bill “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” (H.R. 3590) on
November 30. The bill, which is estimated to cover 94 percent of
Americans, passed its first hurdle before the Thanksgiving holiday when
Senate Democrats received the needed 60 votes on the “motion to
proceed” to debate.

The Senate began to slog its way
through amendments (see below) last week in a process that promises to
get harder, not easier. In the meantime, the debate continues as to
whether the Senate bill would do anything significant to slow rising
health care costs, and a Bloomberg story points out that a number of
economists and analysts are doubtful that it will. The White House
defends the bill's ability to slow costs, but some analysts predict
that Congress will need to make many more tough decisions to have a

Senate
Former President Bill Clinton visited Senate Democrats on
Capitol Hill this week, urging them to quickly pass health care reform
by the end of the year. Senate Leadership continues to work pulling its
final merged bill together and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) says
that he will introduce the legislation on the Senate floor the week of
November 16th.

Under Senate rules, a 60-vote majority is
required to move the bill forward before official debate can begin. It
is likely that Democrats will receive the 60-votes needed to move the

The Business Roundtable released a
report late last week that found key components of existing health care
reform legislation could slow the growth of health care costs and offer
real savings for companies and their employees. The results were
immediately welcomed by the White House. Yet, the report goes on to
warn that certain provisions within the legislation could actually
accelerate costs. "The report also shows that reform done wrong won't
work and could make a bad situation much worse," said Antonio M. Perez,

focused on last Saturday's approval of health care reform legislation

Given that the Senate is expected to
require much more time than the House to vote on a health care bill
(see below), it is likely there is not enough legislative time left in
2009 to wrap up a bill for Christmas delivery to the White House.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid fueled concerns about the schedule
last week when he refused to commit publicly to passing an overhaul
bill this year. This makes a "conference" between the House and Senate
MORE likely in January 2010 THAN IN 2009, and that could require some

As we near the end
of a busy week in Congress, WellPoint sent a letter to Congressional
Members highlighting the detrimental impact of current legislation on
our health care system. The letter focuses on the potential impact of
the Affordable Health Care for America Act (HR 3962) currently being
debated in the House of Representatives.

WellPoint also provided
Congress with a point-by-point response to the White House Blog's
criticism of its actuarial analyses released late last week.
