In this hyper-partisan environment, I can't think of an organization that better fits the definition of bipartisan than the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Their mission is to keep the federal budget process honest and responsible.
Its current board members include a veritable who's who of Washington, DC adults; Mitch Daniels, Leon Panetta, Tim Penny, Erskine Bowles, Kent Conrad, Vic Fazio, and Bill Gradison.
The Committee has just released a comprehensive evaluation of the leading Democratic candidates' health care plans.
It is required reading for any serious health policy wonk. Disbelieve their work at your own peril.

The Public Option's Silver Lining?
Joe Biden's Health Insurance Plan Would Fix the Individual Health Insurance System and Have the Potential to Politically Stabilize the Entire Private Health Insurance Market for Decades to Come
In a prior post, I argued that the Biden health plan directly takes on the most problematic parts of Obamacare by making individual market coverage affordable––and would therefore make the individual insurance system much lower in cost and therefore financially sustainable.
A lower cost individual market would also make the entire private insurance market more politically sustainable––if people find their coverage affordable why move to a complete government takeover such as Medicare for all?
As part of his plan, Biden also calls for a "public option."

Joe Biden's Health Insurance Plan Would Fix the Individual Health Insurance System
IF the Democrats capture the White House, keep the House and take over the Senate, no matter who they elect as President, this Biden health care outline, not Medicare for all, will likely be the plan Democrats embrace in 2021
The Biden health care proposal directly takes on the big things that haven't worked in Obamacare.

Obamacare is "Stable" at an Incredibly Unstable Place
The Democrats Want to Move Beyond Obamacare Because We Have No Other Choice
Before I start talking about the presidential candidates' health care plans, let's review just exactly where we are with the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
