A Health Fix That Is Not Fantasy
New York Times: A Health Fix That Is Not Fantasy:
An older article (2 weeks), but Mr. Leonhardt comes at the health insurance issue from a different perspective.
"I know that a lot of fans of a government-run system will find the Massachusetts solution complicated and inefficient. But the reality is that a national system will remain a fantasy as long as most employers offer health insurance.
Mr. Romney and the legislature have given Massachusetts companies a way to drop coverage without appearing brutish. If they do so — if they really want to get out of the insurance business — the debate about health care will change very quickly."
