Think about it, Time Magazine giving a glowing report on Romney Care. And this doesn’t set off any bells anywhere?
Sounds like you're offering more of a substitute for "thinking about it." Doing the opposite of Time may have a decent batting average, but it's not a substitute for actual thinking.
Romney care, as I understand it, does NOT create a new govt run health care agencyas would Hillary's plan.
Instead, it helped identify low income people for Medicaid, and also gave tax breaks to businesses to help them buy private plans.
It also incentivised private health insurers to pool coverage into providing affordable plans for those who for whatever reason were unable to buy lower cost plans.
Yes, the Mass govt would subsidize private insurance for those who fell thru the cracks, but that's better than creating a who new MediCare/Caid program like the lib Dems want to do.
It supposedly (am not truly convinced) was funded mostly by money saved by not having the indigent and poor use emergency hospital rooms, which Medicaid of course previously picked up at full emergency room costs.
