Fast Facts also provides direct access to Kaiser's comprehensive collection of fact sheets — two-page overviews of complex health policy issues — and other online data and analysis tools that the Foundation has created, such as the interactive Medicare Health Plan Tracker, State Medicaid Fact Sheets and the Medicaid Benefits Database, as well as the statehealthfacts.org and globalhealthfacts.org Web sites.

QuickTakes
QuickTakes presents an inventory of facts-at-a-glance providing a concise overview of the health care system, as well as key facts about a wide variety of health policy topics, including: Medicaid, the uninsured, health care costs and insurance, Medicare, public opinion, HIV/AIDS, minority health, women's health policy and the entertainment media and health. These data are compiled from the Foundation's own studies and analyses as well as those from other organizations. Using QuickTakes, Web visitors will find up-to-date health policy statistics that provide an overview of key aspects of the health care system without having to search through various publications. Links to related materials and sources are also provided.
