After Sen. Barack Obama released his highly anticipated health care plan on Tuesday, there was a flurry of blog reaction, led by The American Prospect’s Ezra Klein and The New Republic’s Jonathan Cohn – both whom argue that Obama’s plan falls a step short of achieving universal coverage.
But the Obama campaign is further elaborating on the plan, and stating otherwise. Over at the Campaign for America’s Future blog, Obama ’08 health care adviser and Harvard economics professor David Cutler posts that, "All Americans will be covered automatically under this plan. And the resources are set aside in the plan to do whatever is necessary to guarantee affordable coverage for every American."
For the details, check out Cutler’s post at the Campaign for America’s Future blog -- which will be giving all the presidential campaigns the opportunity to elaborate on their health care proposals, so we can have a healthy health care debate on how to bring about affordable, quality coverage for all.
