Romney care and Obamacare shape a partisan health care divide
Arkansas Times columnist Gene Lyons argues that health care reform, though framed as a public duty, reflects a blend of private insurance and government policy. He cites Romney’s Massachusetts plan and Justice Roberts’ Obamacare ruling, argues for universal coverage, criticizes anti reform hysteria, and notes public ignorance about the law. Lyons urges informed, nonpartisan engagement and notes tax and credit provisions for small business.
