On Thursday Republican Presidential contender Mitt Romney circulated a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece he wrote panning Hillary Clinton’s health-care reform plan.
Romney led his own effort to reform health care in Massachusetts as governor and expanded access to health insurance. Clinton and Romney’s plans share some aspects, such as the requirement that all citizens carry health coverage.
But Romney insists that Clinton’s plan would spark a tax increase and the expansion of government insurance programs while imposing a “national model” on every American. He also argues her approach would increase government’s role at the expense of the free market.
Clinton has said she would pay the $110 billion price tag for her plan by rolling back Bush-era tax cuts for Americans making more than $250,000 annually. She also insists her plan would not expand government bureaucracy, nor would it force Americans to switch doctors.
Clinton sent out a media release Thursday listing articles from several publications praising her plan.
