Here is the Baucus/Harkin health care outline

http://finance.senate.gov/healthreform2009/finalwhitepaper.pdf

It's long, complicated and it isn't single payer, instead it's a patch work quilt approach that will see US taxpayers subsidizing private insurance companies.

But it does have a few really good things in it and while i will be pushing for single payer, at the same time i will be pushing to keep the best parts of this outline intact.
