I made my comment partly because you seemed unsure about whether the Finance bill is supposed to be the base bill, which is an issue I explained in the other post.
The committees have mostly posted pretty readable summaries of their bills that don't take too long to read if you're really interested. However, all four of them are very similar, and on the really big issues under debate, they're approximately the same. For example, on the big issue I'm posting about, as I made clear in the earlier post, all four of them have the public option. As far as I know, all four of them also have a gateway/exchange, a universal individual mandate, similar subsidies for low income people, none of them make people who are in the US illegally eligible for the subsidy or the gateway/exchange but none of them restrict legal immigrants from it, all of them provide for coverage for end of life counseling and living wills, none of them prohibit insurance companies from covering abortion, etc. So, a "compare and contrast" of these four bills on the issues that people have been talking about wouldn't be that interesting, and that's probably why we haven't seen such things publicized.
