Romneycare détruit par Mitt Romney?

Il y a bien longtemps que Mitt Romney ne sait trop comment gérer sa plus grande réalisation comme gouverneur du Mass.. Comment se distinguer clairement d'Obama sans renier son propre plan de santé? Pendant les primaires les républicains craignaient que cette situation ne revienne le hanter lors de l'élection présidentielle. Un article qui met en lumière le chemin tortueux de l'argumentation du candidat républicain.

 "Though he clearly takes pride in the accomplishment — and as recently as 2008 had hoped to run for president as a candidate uniquely suited to take the program nationwide — the national health reforms he is now promising to enact in 2013 would deeply, perhaps fatally, undermine his greatest achievement in public life.

 Like the Affordable Care Act, Romney’s Massachusetts law relies on adequate federal funding to provide subsidies, and an individual mandate — to pull younger, healthier people into the insurance risk pool and hold premiums down. Romney’s promised reforms as President — specifically his support for deep cuts to Medicaid and his call to allow individuals to purchase insurance across state lines — threaten that foundation.

 “If Romney block grants Medicaid, the question with our Commonwealth Care system is just the money question. Would he give us the money we need to make that work?” says Jonathan Gruber, an MIT health care expert who helped design the Massachusetts law.”[For] the rest of our market, it essentially would unravel what the mandate would do. We’d be back to where we were before the mandate.”
