Members don't see this ad.

Are there any books/websites/YouTube videos that you have found useful. Preferably something that's new (covers the Affordable Care Act) and unbiased.

Just FYI, anything pertaining to federal or state regulations can be best found via .gov sites. Those are as unbiased as you can get.

Good point. But I was really looking for a summary + analysis type deal.

Thank you, I'll check it out.

Understanding Health Policy: a Clinical Approach by Bodenheimer was a good read for me, and it also has other health care models from different countries in it too. I highly recommend it if you have the time.

Awesome, I'll look it up on Amazon!

I also recommend you to research the Korean model of universal health care. The Obamacare is ultimately aiming to implement something similar here in the U.S.
On the other hand, Korea is aiming to implement the U.S. healthcare model (e.g. establishing for-profit hospitals) due to its own imperfection in the universal healthcare system.

I use Healthcare Triage on Youtube for this purpose.
