Brilliant Video Comparison Obamacare With Romneycare

Alan: In the following video, Jonathan Gruber provides solid analysis, but more significantly, does so with consummate calm. By virtue of his placidity, Gruber spotlights the alarmism of conservative pundits. Notably, Gruber points out that the rollout of Obamacare (for all its flaws) is hugely more successful than Romneycare's roll-out... which eventually achieved resounding success.

The following video is extraordinary. If any readers want to bet even money on Obamacare's failure, I'll "betcha!"

RomneyCare Passage and Popularity

The plan was approved by two conservative Republicans who were George W. Bush’s Secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, Tommy Thompson and Mike Leavitt. Furthermore, the plan was supported overwhelmingly in the MA legislature with 198 house reps supporting the bill and only 2 voting against it – 99% voting in favor of the plan! The bill also passed through the state senate without a single dissenting vote and it was supported by nearly every special interest group in the state. (As of September 2011, 33 of the 36 Republicans in the MA legislature endorsedRomney for president further illustrating the sustained support for Romney and his tenure as Governor of MA.)

Physician and New York Times bestselling author Atul Gawande wrote in The New Yorker magazine on January 26, 2009 that the plan “remains extremely popular” among the citizens of MA and that “a large majority would not want to go back to the old system.” Recent polls show that 84% of MA residents are satisfied with the plan!

RomneyCare provides the citizens of Massachusetts better access to healthcare and ultimately healthier, longer lives. The plan provided healthcare that is both portable and affordable, something that people have been trying to achieve about for decades.
