…Democrats just passed the Republican health care reform plan — without a single Republican vote. Bear in mind, the bill that was signed into law this week was endorsed by the AMA (which has never before supported any health care reform effort), the AARP (I’m pretty sure they’re not out to “kill granny”), the American Hospital Association, the American Nurses Association, the Catholic Hospital Association, a group representing 59,000 Catholic nuns, and way too many other groups to list. But it didn’t get a single Republican vote out of 198 Republicans in the House and 41 Republican Senators. Among those who helped design the Romney plan was the conservative Heritage Foundation. It’s principal architect was MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, who also advised the Obama administration. Although Republicans are now decrying the “individual mandate,” it was the centerpiece of Romney’s “Personal Responsibility” plan. daggatt ☀
