Noted health care guru Michael Tanner explains that RomneyCare and HillaryCare are
conceptually very similar. He also makes the argument --one
applicable in many other contexts -- that conservatives err by when
they let Democrats determine the terms of the debate(e.g. universal
coverage) and buy into unconservative means (e.g. mandates) of
achieving those ends. As noted yesterday, Jonathan Gruber, the
man who designed MittCare and Hillary's plans, says both clients
got the same advice. Gruber says Romney should embrace his inner
MittCare and stop running from his great achievement in leading
thie way on healthcare reform. I'm sure team Romney wishes he'd go
on a year long cruise somewhere.
