More Romney Health Care
Well, you can't say that they're not fast and organized and so well positioned which is why I've been betting for months, long before it was fashionable, that Romney would be the Republican nominee. CNP's Michael Caruso laughed at me about this. (Of course, I also said the Fed would never cut rates so what do I know?) Anyway, the MR folks noted to me within minutes of my last post that the new plan, far from being an abandonment of the Romney Massachusetts health care plan, gives states the tools to enact a plan like the one Romney signed as governor which essentially mandated that everyone get in the system. Fair enough. Still, there's nothing here that's tough on the drug-and-insurance companies. I accept that the Mass. plan couldn't easily be replicated nationally and that, if you believe in federalism, you probably wouldn't want to anyway. But still the Romney plan feels less than ambitious from where I sit.
