Healthcare and Mitt Romney
Rich Lowry discusses the Massachussets healthcare experiment here. Mitt Romney was the architect of this fiasco and perhaps the best thing that can be said about it is that it only exists in one state......until Obamacare was passed and kicks in, that is! It will be interesting to see how Obama deals with this issue in the primaries to come before the 2012 POTUS election. Right now all the things critics have warned about Obamacare, escalating costs, higher taxes, higher insurance premiums and no improvement in access (i.e., not enough docs to accommodate increased patient load), are all happening in Massachussets. So far Roomney appears to be taking the position that the experiment needs more time and tweaking, and that there were a few things in the plan he didn't like but had to go along with to get it passed. It may be the only chance he has to survive the dilemma he not finds himself in is to do a mea culpa and hope for the best. It's hard to see how he can overcome this problem in the face of all the primary candidates who are going to raise the issue at every opportunity.
